[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1673415, member: 18945"] Last time I looked, I am pretty sure Wyoming had the distinction of most firearms per capita*. (per 1000 residents) Texas has the most total firearms of the 50 states but is also the 2nd most populated state. IIRC, Texas per capita firearm ownership was somewhere close to the middle, #20-#25, meaning we are "about average". *it really depends which survey was used and what their definition of 'gun ownership' is. Some go by gun sales, some by registration, some by telephone survey, some gun census takers go by ATF's National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
