Since this is "self reporting", I would suspect the numbers for both are higher...
I agree, and that 50% number I mentioned could well have been households, which would agree well with your number.

I have to admit (well, I don't have to but, I am going to) that every time I read someone posting that they have guns to defend themselves in the post-apocalypse that the image of an M1 Abrams coming up from underground and rolling up in front of dozens of people holding their automatic rifles and wearing their flak jackets...

Maybe being well-armed will help deal with unruly neighbors, but If I am a billionaire, I will see your automatic rifles and raise you an armored battalion...

Just saying.
