# of Permit Applications                             239,411
 
Permits Issued                                       227,569
 
Permits Revoked Due To                               18 (0.008%)
Crime With Firearm Present
 
 
During the 6-1/2 year period from 10/01/87 (start-up date) through
05/31/94, 227,569 CCW permits have been issued -- 69% new permits;
31% permit renewals.  Less than one-quarter of 1% of permit
applications have been rejected due to an applicant's criminal
history; less than two-tenths of 1% have been rejected due to an
"incomplete application."  Two hundred permits (less than one-tenth
of 1%) have been revoked because a permit holder committed some
kind of a crime, though not necessarily a gun-related or violent
crime. Only 18 (less than 0.008%) permits have been revoked because
a permit holder committed a crime (not necessarily violent) in
which a firearm was present, though not necessarily used.
 
By contrast, the FBI reports that each year there are about 46,000
gun-related violent crimes (assaults, robberies, homicides and
rapes) in Florida.

Subject: Statistics on FL CCW experience
 
This was written by: : "Preston K. Covey" 
 
 
The:
	NRA/ILA Research & Information Division,
	1600 Rhode Island Ave., N.W.
	Washington DC  20036
 
will provide a pamphlet that reprints the following two analyses on
the Florida CCW law statistics:
 
	Marion Hammer, "Pro-Gun Laws - They Work!"
		Guns & Ammo, Nov. '91, pp. 22-23
 
  and
 
	Gary Kleck, excerpts from his book:
		"Point Blank: Guns & Violence in America"
 
Both of these are based on the "Concealed Weapons / Firearms License
Statistical Report for the Period 10/01/87 - 10/31/91"  issued by:
 
	Florida Department of State's Division of Licensing
	P.O. Box 6687,
	Tallahassee, FL 32314-6687
 
This one-page report states as follows:
 
112,528   Applications Received
 
 85,662   New
 26,866   Renewal
 
109,377   Licenses Issued
 
 82,756   New
 26,621   Renewal
 
 
    768   Applications Denied
 
    446   Criminal History
    302   Incomplete Application
 
 
    167   Licenses Revoked
 
     66   Clemency rule change or legislative change
     77   Crime after licensure  (10 = firearm utilized)
      6   Crime prior to licensure  (2 = firearm utilized)
     10   Illegible prints with no response
      8   Other
 
     12   Reinstated (no statistics maintained prior to Jan. '90)
 
----------- These stats are the sum total of the report ------------
 
What this amounts to is the following good news:
 
167 licenses revoked = .15% (one-sixth of 1%)  of licenses issued
 
    i.e. 15 in 10,000 licenses were revoked
 
 77 licenses revoked for a crime after licensure = .07% (seven hundreths of 
1%)
 
    i.e. only 7 in 10,000 licenses were revoked for a crime
 
 10 licenses revoked for crime with a gun = .009%
 
    i.e. less than 1 in 10,000 licenses were revoked for a crime with a gun
 
See Hammer and Kleck references (above) for more analysis.
