Concealed handgun permits are now held by some more than 6 percent of American adults, the CPRC analysis found. Concealed handgun permit holders are extremely law abiding, the analysis shows. In states that record gender data for permit holders, women account for 36 percent of the total number of permit holders. Asians appear to be the group that has experienced the largest increase in permitted concealed carry permits. Some state and local authorities display what appears to be racist and sexist biases in deciding who gets concealed handgun permits.
