From a previous thread...
I think the folks who get training vs those who don't comes down to demographics and their circle of influence. It could probably be explained with numbers, that I don't have.
I believe the amount of people with permits are hugely disproportionate to the amount of people that get training and the type/age/sex of folks that I've seen receiving training are normally of a similar age group and color. Birds of a feather and all.

The group I normally see is the 31-50 folks for standard tac pistol/rifle classes. The stats show there are nearly 2/3 in the upper age range for renewals. 51-91 y/o
Total number of permits issued since inception 205,145 - from 2019 stats

As I’ve previously stated, I’m okay with the Bill.
I’m not okay with people who choose to carry a gun and don’t seek training.
