Where does Colorado rank in the country when it comes to guns?

A recent study shows Colorado ranks in the top 20 of most firearms per state.

From the website cbsnews.com, this story breaks down all 50 states in the U.S. and the number of guns per capita.

Colorado finishes at number 20 with 12 guns for every 1,000 residents. Roughly, that adds up to around 63,178 firearms within the 5.2 million population.

Our neighbors in Utah finished at number 17.

Here's the top 5

  • 5) Virginia
  • 4) New Mexico
  • 3) Arkansas
  • 2) Washington D.C.

Coming in at number one is Wyoming. The numbers may seem a bit staggering in comparison to us in Colorado. Wyoming reflects, per capita, 195.7 firearms to every 1,000 residents. Remember, Colorado finished with 12 per 1,000.
