I question this ad the US Census Bureau says that there are only 12,831,970 people in the state.
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.
I cant give you statistics,but I can tell you that as a Collector of Vintage Firearms,I dont shoot my collectors items.That would be like using my comic book collection to light my fireplace.I do own some guns for competition and some for hunting,while the old Springfields,Enfields,Mausers,Mosins,Winchesters,and Colts stay in the safe.
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. The number of firearms rises over 4 million annually."
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.
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.
Gun owners aren't "registered" like cars. One estimate is that there are @ 4 million or so gun owners.
No. There is no registration of gun owners

MOST states do not register guns or gun owners.
No, but gun owners do.
The question can't be answered. National registration is not required.
Roughly 1.4 million LEGAL gun owners.
No records, since in most of the US, guns and gun owners are not registered. A very rough estimate in in the millions of women.
Such information is typically not made available to the general public, nor should it be.
It depends on what you mean. Gun safety class for what purpose? Illinois does not issue a gun carry permit so there is no safety class for that. If you mean for a different purpose, it depends on what the purpose it.
A couple of million
no records. Sorry
