First of all, you're comparing a 2015 license report against a 2014 population number. But EVEN IF you were comparing 2015 licenses against the 2014 population, check your calculator.......... I get a completely different percentage of 3.48% (937,419 2015 license holders divided by the 2014 estimated population of 26,956,958).

However, if you divide the 2014 active licenses (825,957) by the 2014 estimated population (26,956,958), you get a figure of 3.064%.........or "about" 3% as I previously stated.

Apples to apples, and all that.

Edited to add:

If you google "2015 estimated population of Texas", you get this figure from the state: 27,695,284 (SOURCE).

Now, divide 937,419 2015 license holders by estimated state population of 27,695,284, and you get 3.38%......... a little closer to what I claimed, and a lot more sustainable by the available data than your number of 4.7%......which I'm still not sure how you obtained it.

But marketers/businesses are interested in who will be purchasing and making the buying decisions. What they want to know is how many of those with LTCs are in their customer base. The problem with dividing total Texas population by total Texas LTCs you include millions who don't make those buying decisions, infants and elderly. I think it's safe to say that a higher percentage of customers with an LTC buy from Tractor Supply then from Whole Foods.

Yeah, I think it was the Dallas Morning News that reported it's 5% of the adult population. To get the best handle on the stats knockout the infant to 20 year old and if possible all those in rest homes. What's telling is that young women, who make most of the buying decisions, are the fastest growth segment of the population buying handguns. http://www.guns.com/2015/01/22/women-fa ... un-buyers/

Personally, I know a few women that at one time wouldn't think of having a handgun in the house (or wanting one in the same zip code) now intertaining the the thought of buying.

1 in 20 Texas adults have a Texas LTC. If all of them boycot stores/restaurants posting 30.06 signs, depending on their market, businesses could feel the pinch
