It\u2019s also a 10.5% increase over the number of permits we counted a year ago in 2020. Unlike gun ownership surveys that may be affected by people\u2019s unwillingness to answer personal questions, concealed handgun permit data is the only really \u201chard data\u201d that we have. This increase occurred despite 21 Constitutional Carry states that no longer provide data on all those legally carrying a concealed handgun because people in those states no longer need a permit to carry.<\/p>\n<p>These numbers are particularly topical given that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the concealed carry case of New York State Rifle &amp; Pistol Association V.
