Are any of these loaded firearms also unlocked? By unlocked, we mean you do not need a key or
a combination or a hand/fingerprint to get the gun or to fire it. We don't count a safety as a lock.*

PLEASE NOTE: Due to changes in the weighting methodology and other factors, results from 2021
are NOT comparable to 2010 and earlier years.

Sub-group estimates have been suppressed because they do not meet statistical reliability standards.
