Indiana made #15...
Not bad, but we can do better.
Did not expect a couple of them in the top 5.

How did the district of Columbia end up at 2? Are they counting criminals with guns?

 

[BugI02]

Only using the count of NFA stuff I believe

No. The criminals in congress that have body guards that have guns.

ETA: There's a lot of states that "register" guns, apparently.

****ty methodiology, that's how.

For every 1,000 residents in Indiana, there are 14.1 guns. That's 92,700 registered firearms among 6,570,902 people.

What's all this registering?

Title II. The list is nonsense, based on ignorance of gun laws.

I thought there was a thread on this already. I'm pretty sure we came to the conclusion that 92k firearms for Indiana isn't even close. Weren't there more NICS checks than that in Indiana just last year?

There are more than 92,000 guns in Tippecanoe County alone.

In Morgan County, 92,000 is simply a township . . . or a neighborhood.

Was going to say something similar to this, that Westfield alone in Hamilton County has over 92,000 firearms.

That article was thoroughly debunked in this thread: https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/general-firearms-discussion/400530-indiana-15th-most-heavily-armed-state-per-cbs.html

It took a really non-gun savvy CBS reporter to think that those numbers were realistic and their counting methodology was legitimate.

Do not believe the lies of the mainstream media, particularly on any gun-related topic.

Shoot, I bet MillerTyme has 92,000 Mosins alone!

Watch it. AA&E says that MUST make you a criminal.

Red Brush Rifle Range here down south has about 1,100 members now. I would wager the membership alone would account for 25,000. Heck, the ratio of 14:1,000 would probably be accurate for belt feds.

 

[BogWalker]

Shhhh, let them think we don't have any. Makes the boating accidents more believable.

 

[BluePig]

I guess I suck.
Should have super exhausted search.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Pretty sure this has been posted before.

Bog, I like the way you think.

Do you have room for two more in your bunker when it all goes down?? The missus cooks pretty good, I can charbroil and smoke pretty good too.

It's NFA items only. Kinda' like comparing vehicle ownership state-by-state and only counting Ferraris, Porsches, and Lamborghinis.

I'm sure INGO members account for over 92K.

Exactly. Horrible methodology.
