Bingo.Me-thinks some of those states are "under-reported"....
ABSTRACT
We assessed gun ownership rates in 2013 across the
USA and the association between exposure to a social
gun culture and gun ownership. We used data from a
nationally representative sample of 4000 US adults,
from 50 states and District of Columbia, aged
>18 years to assess gun ownership and social gun
culture performed in October 2013. State-level firearm
policy information was obtained from the Brady Law
Center and Injury Prevention and Control Center. Onethird
of Americans reported owning a gun, ranging
from 5.2% in Delaware to 61.7% in Alaska. Gun
ownership was 2.25-times greater among those
reporting social gun culture (PR=2.25, 95% CI 2.02
to 2.52) than those who did not. In conclusion, we
found strong association between social gun culture
and gun ownership. Gun cultures may need to be
considered for public health strategies that aim to
change gun ownership in the USA.

4000 adults divided by 50 states is only 80 per state.

Gun owners. Not handgun owners only. Not to mention those who have owned them long before the hql was ever a thought.It does not look right for MD. There are about 80k HQL out there. If half of the gun owners applied for HQL, the total of gun owners will be 160k. And MD has 6 million people. Let's assume 4 million are adults. The percentage will be 4%.
