    Where does YOUR state rank?

    Firearm ownership rates by states. Not too surprised but Alaska has the highest rate.

    Given that Hawaii has some of the strictest gun control laws I am surprised at the rate of ownership. I would have expected a lot less.

    AZ is at #26. I'm willing to bet the gun ownership % is much higher. Our gun laws protect our right to sell private property without federal infringement. I know several folks who have owned guns all their lives and never bought one "on the books"

    You DO realize that this info shows:

    Here is a look at per capita weapons data, based on the ATF’s National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, and 2013 data from the U.S. Census.
    What is a "National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record"?

    There is no "registration" in most states, and even in communist New York only pistols are "on record" (but not long guns - aside from the idiots that registered some rifles under the "SAFE" Act), so these published numbers are meaningless.

    I don’t believe where Maine is listed. MAYBE everything in and around of Portland and all south, but that is a very small part of the state. The rest, everybody has at least 3 rifles in their homes.
    I see rifles and sometimes pistols in almost every home I go into, and I go in to a different persons house every day.
