Statistics that fail independent corroboration are excluded.

In 2025, concealed carry statistics highlight a stark pattern of crimes stopped by concealed carry incidents, where outcomes often hinge on what happened before police ever arrived. The most surprising part is how these cases can look dramatically different from one location and situation to the next, even when the threat is similar. This post breaks down the key figures so the contrast is clear, not buried in vague summaries.
