32% of Chicago residents have carried a concealed firearm by the age of 40 .
Two-thirds of those who carried a gun in the past year started doing so in adulthood, compared to only a third who began carrying in adolescence.
Black individuals carried at rates over two times as great as those of Hispanic and white individuals.
Researchers found a racial component to gun-carrying.
In 2020 and 2021 , the nation saw a sharp increase in adult gun carrying, coinciding with an uptick in gun purchases following the outbreak of COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd .
Recent decades have seen a widespread shift to "shall issue" carry laws: authorities are obliged to issue gun licenses to those who meet limited criteria such as being over 21 and passing a criminal background check.
