The U.S. has more armed civilians than most countries’ military. But have you ever wondered how many Americans are actually armed? Ammo.com was curious and decided to write a report about it! The truth is that less than half of Americans report owning guns in 2026, but there’s more to the story.
If you’re in a hurry, here are the report highlights:
- Over 60% of those living in Montana, Wyoming, and Alaska own guns.

- Americans aged 50 to 64 report the highest ownership rate at 37%, though rates vary by survey.
