No numbers for you, sorry (I suspect it would be tough to get them from MSP, in any case).
But, anecdotally??
Folks I see and talk to and notice as I move around the state, I would have to say that (other than in Baltimore City and most of PG/Monkey Counties, I would put the percentage of "legal" gun owners in Maryland at about 60% of households elsewhere, and 20% of the areas that elect governors and US Senators.
I do see a disturbing trend, where most of these people seem particularly reluctant to speak on the subject, let alone admit thay have firearms.
On a comforting side-note... Wifey is being asked more and more about the benefits and details of shooting/owning. The irony here, is that she teaches in a fairly rough area of Southern PG County!!!
Rest assured, folks are out there... IMO, we're actually a silent majority (even in Absurdistan)
