You and How Many? The Great Pennsylvania Gun Gamble
Ever wondered how much firepower Pennsylvanians are packing? We're not talking spicy wings at a local diner (though those can be pretty intense), we're diving into the world of firearms and and and... well, how many of those there are per person in the good ol' Keystone State.
Hold Your Horses (or Should We Say Hold Your Muskets?)
Before we get all "Wild West" on you with statistics, let's clear something up. There's no central, national gun registry in the US, so pinpointing an exact number of guns to people is a tricky lasso to wrangle. But fear not, intrepid data detectives, we've got some pretty darn good estimates!
Numbers Don't Lie (But They Might Be a Little Shy)
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
According to studies, Pennsylvania clocks in at around 15 guns per every 1000 residents. That translates to roughly one gun for every 67 Pennsylvanians. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean everyone owns a gun, but it does indicate a state with a healthy dose of firearm ownership.
