    Default Most armed counties

    I found this map that shows the most armed counties in the US. The county I live in is almost at the top of the list.

    That map is bogus!

    They are not saying if that is true number of guns or a percentage of households with a firearm.

    Kentucky has approved more background checks in the past ten years than Louisiana has people, and most definitely more than the populations of Alaska, Wyoming or Montana.

    KY this year issued 203,000 CCW permits. That is half the population of Wyoming and 1/4 the population of Alaska and both those states sport a county on the map.

    And only a small portion of the gun owners in KY even apply for a CCW. We are an open carry state, they don't have too.

    More than 2,000,000 background checks in KY this year, up to September...

    And our population is not but 4.5 million!

    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?

    I want to respond to this...in a fair and balanced way... I might upset some liberal morons who may be lurking... I dont give a damn what counties have too many guns. I give a huge value to the liberal morons in DC.... Millions are being denied CWL in DC Lets not miss the opportunity. There is no way anyone can get a CC in DC! We need to focus effort with the NRA

    I would think that your house being the best armed house in the county would have a far better bearing on you family's safety.

    A face-full of shot has got to be a better deterrent than an explanation of our county being the most armed.

    Could be wrong, I don't know. I ain't no statistician.

    Yeah, I know. 80% of statistics are made up anyways. Most of my guns were acquired in another state, or given from dear old dad. My county doesn't know about those. I know I am not the only one. But, my county was #2, so I had to brag a little, even if it isn't true.

    If they succeed do we get a do-over?

    TPTB will just claim it is a bunch of radical NRA members, declare martial law and start confiscating guns.

    If that's the statistic they trust and what they want to believe - then let them.....NO need to let them in on the secret......
    "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government."

    Those are the counties on the map that are white. The red counties on the map have more 2 armed people, so overall have the most arms. I am sure there are some 3 armed people who really bump up the numbers. Of course, if your county has a lot of no armed people, then you will never get high on the list.
