IDPA and USPSA have about 50K members (but there is probably some overlap). There are smaller disciplines.

The vast majority of CHL, CCW types don't even carry their guns consistently. They have a 'car' gun. That's pretty silly as most incidents don't happen in your car.

One might look at the percent of veterans who carry.

Overall, folks don't have training. Luckily - they don't face intensive incidents. Most are deterrent and not intense critical incidents.

So untrained do well in deterrent. In critical incidents - we do see a mixed bag but the numbers are small as to not lead to solid conclusions.
