Many who wanted to carry legally likely already have permits, and those carrying illegally will continue to do so. The overall impact is expected to be minor, as most people are not inclined to carry a firearm daily due to the inconvenience.

Will more people start carrying guns in Ohio after constitutional carry?

While some may start carrying, the speaker believes it won't be a huge or noticeable portion of the public. Many who wanted to carry legally likely already have permits, and those who would carry illegally would continue to do so. The speaker estimates only about 1% of the population might have been waiting for this change.

Why might constitutional carry not significantly increase the number of gun carriers?

The speaker posits that most people simply don't want the daily hassle of carrying a gun, even if it's legal without a permit. Those who were strongly motivated to carry likely already obtained a permit, and those who would carry illegally were already doing so. The perceived inconvenience outweighs the legal change for many.

Are there statistics to support the idea that constitutional carry doesn't drastically increase gun carriers?

The speaker notes a lack of statistics showing a significant portion of the population starting to carry after constitutional carry is enacted in other states.
