[quote=SK in CV][quote=CA renter]According to this, 23% of women own guns, while 46% of men own guns. I’m willing to bet that the number for both is low (many won’t report it), and that the number for women is much higher in real life.[/quote]

I didn’t find a link in your comment, but I’m pretty sure I did find the survey. And if it’s the same one, it doesn’t say that 23% of women and 46% of men own guns. It’s the percentage of men and women who live in gun ownership homes. Very different.

According to this study…

10% of women own guns.[/quote]

Whoops, forgot the link.

And this was gender of gun owner, not those who reported a gun in the house (a much higher number of women have access to guns by that measure).
