Thank you for making it clear that those of us who were not smart enough to choose where to be born are at best second-class citizens.

MI: About 1/6 CHL holders are women
According to statistics compiled by the Michigan state police, about one in six holders of a concealed pistol license (about 17 %) are women. In Wayne County, the county that includes the city of Detroit, it's 22 %.
The article does not state the total number of current licensees, but it is something like 300,000 in a state with a population of 10 million. Most licensees, male and female, are in their 50s or older.

Michigan has had shall-issue licenses for about 10 years with no significant controversy.
Note to the perpetual critics of the media: the article does not include the "mandatory fair-and-balanced" counterpoint from a Brady mouthpiece organization saying that women are better off with non-lethal weapons and curling up in a ball when attacked.
Also the people of Michigan are not Yankees. They are mostly descendants of 19th- and early 20-century European immigrants and African-Americans. The Detroit area has the largest concentration of recent Arab immigrants in the U.S.
