Gracie, I don't think the number is all that high. I'm sure several have guns in their homes but getting a carry permit is not all that easy -- even in Florida. I do not carry because I'm worried about someone breaking in; I carry to protect myself from one insane male and no other reason. Once I know he is permanently out of my life, my gun will happily be turned in to the Sheriff's Department and I will have a burn the permit party.
Look at how many people post regularly on TOTV and look how many have posted here and admitted to carrying. A pretty low percentage. I would guess the same is true for the general population of TV.
You love TV. You're not going to agree with what everyone says or does even here. Gun laws, gun for protection arguments, guns in general; handguns in particular arguments are never going to end. So, don't let this detract from your love of TV. It is where your heart is. It is not perfect, but it is pretty dang good. There are many here who love you and I, for one, think TV truly needs "airheads" like you. So, c'mon on down.
