I believe those numbers will change IF campus carry passes. My experience, as an instructor, is that a lot of young adults wait until they finish college to get their CHLs because they are afraid that just having a handgun in the car on compus could be reason for criminal prosecution or expulsion. We always see a flurry of 20-something applicants in June/July.Keith B wrote:Funny that this came up like this. I did a little number crunching earlier this morning to see how the statistics looked.
I was able to find the demographics of a Texas university campus (to remain unnamed) and applied the percentage of people licensed in Texas against the age range listed and that percentage of licenses issued to those ages for the past three years. Here is how it stacks up:
So, if you get down to it, if the percentages stayed as they are today, the probability of students between 18 - 22 having a CHL would not be that high on average, but almost goes to 3.5 times the average amount between 23-29, 6.5 times for those between 30 - 39, and about 8 times the average for students 40-59.
