Best Answer

Many homes have guns, though mostly in rural areas. There are also a number of people who posess guns illegaly as well as those who have a legal contract to own one.

Added: (in the US) Gun ownership is a Constitutionally protected right, and since no law requires gun owners to register their firearms the answer to this question is impossible to determine. There is no way to know this statistic.

There is no way to know exactly how many, since there is no national registration or state regirstation (in most states). Estimates, depending on where you read it, range from 150 million to 250 million.
