(12,072 posts)The majority are white male, because white people are a majority of this nation. Most permit holders are men, but the number of women getting permits is increasing rapidly.
In Texas, 2010, whites made up 85% of CHLers. That leaves 15% who are non-white.
78% of CHLs were issued to males, leaving 22% of CHLs issued to females. While a minority that is still a lot of them.
