Maryland in top 100 armed counties twice

[boatbiologist]

I was pretty surprised when I saw:

http://www.city-data.com/top2/co8.html

and saw the good folks of Frederick County at #58 with 33.3% households armed,

but I was blown away when I get to #93 and saw AA county on the list. Sure, we only have a meager 25%, but with that many voters, I thought the average citizen attitude would be different.

2 take aways:

1- where are they getting the data?

2- I'm honestly disappointed in #94 - 2000

Montgomery County is only 2 behind AA with 24.7%...






...Montgomery county Ohio that is.

Sent from the dark recesses of my mind.

 

[Mr H]

Not surprised at AA Co at all...

The problem comes in where we have 2 districts in the county that have problems.

D32 has been the #1 thorn in the side, with 4 reps who are either hard left, or left-leaning squishes... And now there is 31A, created solely to attempt to further divide a conservative working-class community.

The rest of the county is generally good.

I'm stunned that nowhere in VA made the list.

i guess i live a somewhat different life then most. i truly only know 1 person who doesnt own a gun, my own ultra liberal govenment loving bitch of a sister. i would assume some of the people i am around may not have guns but i dont interact with them so i wouldnt know one way or the other. i assumed the numbers would be in the 90% range all over.

i guess you learn something everyday.

Yeah, it's no doubt all those upwardly entitled folks whose money and influence buy access and priviledge. The average Joe or Jane citizen gets the finger while Buffy and Tad get the nod. F Buffy and Tad. I'm talking permits NOT simple ownership...which ain't so simple.

Welcome to Merryland...the NOT SO FREE STATE. The livin is good if you're not stuck in the uncomfortable ( and oh so very expensive) middle...class and geography.

I'd like to see how they got their data. Is it a polling, or from gun registrations? If polling, how many of us would answer truthfully to a stranger? If gun registration, than that is proof the gov. keeps tabs on gun owners. Or am I just being

The real numbers are no doubt higher. There's always a portion of people who don't answer gun related questions.

You posted while I typed. I agree.

I agree, I would like to know exactly how they came up with their poll results. Some of the counties seem strange to have been higher in the poll.

 

[Kman]

I question the data collection.

I know plenty of people in Carbon County, WY and it's not on the list. Guns are as common as Bic lighters there.
I know lots of people in Maricopa County, AZ, and have spent lots of time there, you can hold your breath between OC sightings while riding around and it only gets 29.7%?

These are the top 100 counties whose residents are foolish enough to admit to random strangers they have guns and valuables in the home.

I live in Frederick County!! Yeha, I win!

Oh yea that's right, I live in Maryland. Crap!!! I lose.

Way to go Frederick County! I guess the influx of commuting libtards has not completely changed us yet.

Also see lower Delaware showing well with Sussex and Kent at 54 and 55 with 33.7% each.

 

[Half-cocked]

There is no way IN HELL that Carroll County lost to AA.

NO WAY IN HELL!

This. Only two TX counties on the list?

 

[TxAggie]

This. Only two TX counties on the list?

Only those with AR's answered in the affirmative on this poll.

Which seems to hint that they either did a survey (and people didn't answer), or they looked at secondary stats like "gun sales" or something. People that haven't purchased firearms in a while or carry firearms passed down to them wouldn't register.

 

[DaemonAssassin]

Us gun nuts in Fredneck County love our guns, god, and family.

In all seriousness, I'm happy to see Frederick County on the list.

 

[Mr H]

We need to keep in mind that a lot of folks in AACo (particularly the northern end) seem to be a little TOO vocal about firearms ownership.

"Yeah, I hunt dammit. I have ARs too. What about it?"

 

[GTOGUNNER]

There is no way IN HELL that Carroll County lost to AA.

NO WAY IN HELL!

Carroll County = Concealed Carry.
Don't ask us about our guns, and we won't tell ya..
We don't wanna be on your stinkin' list.

Too many boat wrecks in St. Mary's for valid comparison.
