#1 Missouri.
Not sure if that is satire or not.

Saw a show, think it was Best Defense or it was something like it, which demonstrated that if you are going to carry, one thing to consider is if there were a negligent discharge while holstering, where does the bullet go? Host said something like, "If you do carry front waistband as I prefer to, be certain of the safety of your firearm. A negligent discharge may shoot something off, or if you can imagine even worse, hit your Femoral Artery."

badanov, the article the other day referencing an article by fancy boy "Old people should not defend themselves and just die already." had a commenter state that a large percentage of recent firearm training students were, what the commenter referred to as, elderly. Have you come across anything which confirms or backs up that claim?

#2 By large, IIRC, commenter said 9/10 students.

#4 As well as trending elderly, I'd bet there is a large geographic component from fear of feral youth in our larger cities.
