On post #21 I gave a general percentage of 1 person in 13 in Florida has a permit. To be more exact, as of 2017 there were 1,794,395 issued permits and the Florida population as per the last estimate in 2015 was 20,271,272. Using those numbers I came up with 1 in every 11 residents of Florida has a concealed weapons permits. So that should make it 11%.

TV has a larger percentage of people with clean criminal records, have military backgrounds making them more familiar with weapons and more likely to own and want to carry a weapon. Therefore the 11% is more than likely on the low side in TV.
