More About the Concealed Carry Marketplace
NICS Firearm Background Checks reached an all-time high in 2015 with over 23 million checks performed, compared to less than 9 million in 2014.
A recent Gallop Poll reported 60% of respondents cited Personal Safety and Protection as the primary reason they own a gun.
An estimated 15+ million people have concealed carry permits with millions more eager to acquire their permit and obtain training and instruction.
Women are the fastest growing group of gun owners in America.
Over 5 million women participated in target shooting last year:
42% of women who own a firearm have at least three, along with a concealed carry license.
73% of women gun owners have had at least one training class.
The NRA Personal Protection Expo is positioned to reach this rapidly growing group of people that range from those just starting out, to those already actively engaged in the personal safety and protection of themselves and their family, all with the common goal of possessing the products, knowledge and skills necessary to prepare and defend themselves when a threat arises.
