本文回顾了对枪支携带的研究，并报告了国家自卫调查中关于成年人携带枪支进行保护的流行率、发生率和模式的新发现。大约8.8%的成年人在前一年携带枪支，3.7%的人带着微笑，6.5%的人在车上携带枪支。在一年内，大约有1680万美国成年人携带枪支，710万人携带枪支，1240万人携带枪支。平均每天有270万美国成年人随身携带枪支，500万人在车上携带枪支。每一千个携带枪支的案例中，只有不到一个涉及暴力枪支犯罪。携带枪支在男性、黑人、南部和西部的人中更为常见，他们的工作需要枪支，他们认识最近犯罪的受害者，他们认为犯罪率高于他们所在社区的平均水平，他们是抢劫的受害者，或者他们认为人们必须依靠自己来保护自己。
The article reviews research on gun carrying and reports new findings from the National Self-Defense Survey on the prevalence, incidence, and patterns of adult gun carrying for protection. About 8.8 percent of adults carried guns in the preceding year, 3.7 percent carried grins on their person; and 6.5 percent carried guns in a vehicle. Within a given year, about 16.8 million U.S. adults carry a gun, 7.1 million who carry do so on the person and 12.4 million do so in a vehicle. On an average day, 2.7 million U.S. adults carry a gun for protection on their person and 5.0 million carry one in a vehicle. Less than one in a thousand instances of gun carrying involves a violent gun crime. Carrying was more common among males, Blacks, people In the South and West, people with a job requiring a gun, those who know someone who was recently the victim of a crime, believe that crime is above average in their neighborhood, have been a robbery victim, or believe people must depend on themselves for protection.
