Re: Percentage who actually carry
I believe that work rules are a big driver. There are so many of us that can't leave their weapon in their car at work. It is then more difficult to carry the remainder of the time. If the family and I go out for dinner or shopping after I return from work, I occasionally forget. (Then I am slightly uncomfortable until we are safe at home). When I am on vacation, I carry 100%. It is as easy as putting my wallet in my pocket.

Re: Percentage who actually carry
The 2009 population of Texas:

= 24,782,302
The number of CHL holders as of December 31, 2009:

= 402,914
That is 1 CHL holder for every 62 people or 1.6%. However, who knows how many of them are actually carrying. I would guess
about half. If true, 1 out of every 120 are carrying.
