Since, like most states, Utah does not require registration of guns or gun owners, there is no one source of reliable information on the number of gun owners in Utah. However, some studies indicate that nearly half of the households in Utah own at least one firearm.

How many gun owners are there in the United States of America?

Number of guns and gun owners in USA.Most estimates range between 39% and 50% of US households having at least one gun (that's about 43-55 million households). The estimates for the number of privately owned guns range from 190 million to 300 million. Removed those that skew the stats for their own purposes the best estimates are about 45% or 52 million of American households owning 260 million guns). Some recent estimates:A 2011 Gallup poll estimates that 47 percent of US households own a gun.A 2007 Small Arms Survey estimates there are 88.7 guns per 100 Americans (#1 in the world for guns per capita)A 2010 estimate from the NRA states "Privately owned firearms in the U.S.: Approaching 300 million, including nearly 100 million handguns.

How many people with CCW permits commit gun crimes each year?

I can't speak for the entire U.S., but in Tennessee, it's a tiny percentage. It's less than 1 percent.Added: CCW / CWP / CPWL / Etc., laws are administered by the individual states. There is no federal input or presence in the permitting process and the statistics on WHO and HOW MANY legally carry weapons nationwide is probably not known exactly,except as an estimate.Insofar as I am aware, when a gun-crime is committed, there is no formal collecting of data as to whether the perpetrator happened to be a permit holder or not. Overall estimates, even by anti-gun organizations, seem to reflect that, compared to the population as a wholel, it is only a very small percentage.


What percentage of murders involving guns are committed with licensed guns?

First, you have to tell us what a "licensed gun" is- in most of the US, there is no requirement for licensing of a gun.The overwhelming majority of privately owned firearms are never used in criminal acts- but by some accounts are used in defense several million times each year.As the above stated, only a very certain few types of firearms require a license in order to own - primarily military-style weaponry. A license is issued for a specific gun and a specific individual - licenses are NOT transferrable, though a gun which requires licensing can be transferred to another owner who as obtained the proper license. Licenses are usually issued by the federal government, though certain states may also require a state license of guns not covered by the federal government.However, the vast majority of firearms are required to be registered with authorities - that is, authorities must be notified that the gun is being purchased by person X. This includes private-party transfers and sales, which must also be registered. Registered guns can be sold or given to a new owner, provided the registration is updated (and the new owner is not prohibited from owning a weapon, e.g. a felon).Most people say "licensed" when they really mean "registered", as they're not aware of the difference between the two concepts.Overall, statistics are hard to find that aren't twisted by one side or the other. Realistically speaking, one would expect the vast majority of "known assailant" murders (where the victim knew the murderer) to be committed with a registered gun, while the majority of "unknown assailant" murders to be committed with an unregistered (or illegally transferred) weapon.
