Conclusions. In 2019, about 16 million US adult handgun owners carried handguns in the past month (up from 9 million in 2015), and approximately 6 million did so daily (twice the 3 million who did so in 2015). Proportionally fewer handgun owners carried handguns in states where issuing authorities had substantial discretion in granting permits.

Short version, the number of people packin' heat has nearly doubled since 2015. And I love that last line - in may-issue states, fewer people carry... No sh!t, sherlock!
