abstract="A nationally representative survey of 2000 American adults shows broad support for prohibiting gun-possession on private land without the landowner's explicit  permission. Many states have laws which permit concealed weapon carry unless  explicitly prohibited by the landowner, but our survey suggests  statistically-significant majorities would prefer &quot;no carry&quot; defaults with regard to  homeowners, employers, and retailers. While respondents who are Republican, male, or  gun owners are more likely to support &quot;carry&quot; defaults, we find that the  majoritarian rejection of &quot;carry&quot; defaults does not tend to vary by region or state. However, our survey does find majority support for a default right to possess guns  in rented property and on an employer's parking lot. Respondents across all contexts  also report substantial ignorance or misinformation about the law. Landowners who  don't know or mistakenly believe that concealed carry is, by default, prohibited on  their land may be less able to protect themselves by explicitly prohibiting such  third-party possession.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
