It's tough to tell because concealed means concealed. I do know people who illegally carry and they're not thugs. They're productive members of society who aren't a part of the "good 'ol boy" network.
As for the amount of people who illegally carry, it's more than most people think. That I'm sure of. |

Before Colorado cleaned up our laws and became shall-issue, I and several friends decided we'd rather be alive with a concealed carry charge than dead without one.
Thankfully it's not such an issue now |

Here in Illinois it used to be a misdemeanor for illegal carry. That was changed to a felony a few years back. Not worth the risk, just avoid the bad area's.

20 years ago when I lived in california I carried concealed.
Did it in ohio too. If I felt the need to carry, no law would stop me. |

I have carried concealed for over 30 years, only have had a permit for the last five
 I would like to think that there are a lot of other people out there that where in the same circumstances that do the same.

In Alabama about 20% have permits to carry legally and 30% carry without permits. Never had a problem with either.

I have no idea how many. Wisconsin has no provision for CCW and nobody I know would ever violate the law for any reason. During my 20 years as a Private Investegator I always felt safe and protected by local LEOs so I never carried a firearm in violation of the law. (Cough cough)

Most numbers I've seen put permit holders at or under 1% in legal carry states, I'm sure those that carry illegally are a tiny tiny fraction of that in non-permit states.

I used to live in a no-carry state..I can honestly tell you in my 18 years there I never knew anyone who even thought of carrying. Though it was impossible to drive through Milwaukee without seeing guns everywhere...though they were all on the 'bad guys'

Here in IL, I know of several gun group guys who carry conventionally irrespective of the law.
In percentages, probably less than .001% of the population of otherwise "good guys" are carrying. Me, I carry within the rules. John |

about 3% of citizens carry legally in free states and I'd guess about 1/10th of that number would do so no matter what.

In California first time conviction of illegal CCW is $50 IIRC.
Violate the car pool lane and you're looking at $500 after fines and court fees.

How many rednecks are their in no issue states? How many gang bangers, drug cartels, hit-men, and felons carry? Both questions I don't know.

I know one guy, let's all him "Ricky", who does service work where the cops only go in two car patrols after dark. He keeps a .38 in his tool pail and the local shitheads know it but are not the type to invite the pig into their lives. He does his work and everybody is a happy camper.

I know a few people who used to carry illegally but then the law changed. Now they carry legally. I also know a few people who still carry in places that are not covered by their permits. Myself, I stay legal.
