About 40 percent of American Adults live in households with guns
While this survey doesn't appear to address questions such as women under reporting gun ownership in the home, the results are generally within about five percentage points of most surveys:
A review of Gallup Poll data shows that 4 in 10 Americans report having a gun in their home or on their property, including 30% who say they personally own a gun and 12% who say some other member of their household owns it. Republicans are much more likely than Democrats to report owning a gun, and are also more likely to say they use their guns for hunting. . . .

Gunowners are more likely to tell the pollster to go get bent.
So you can probably add most of the "refused to answer" folks to the gun-owners column.
Gun ownership has be so demonized by the Left that people who own firearms for self-defense do not want to admit they keep a gun around.
I know many people that feel their employment would be endangered if their employers knew they had a firearm.
Several years ago had a medical history update form that asked if I owned guns and, if yes, the number of guns in the house. I put down "Hundreds!", then crossed out the other gun, tobbacco, and illegal drug questions. My doctor said the AMA was pushing the form; as she owned guns, she liked my answer. hw4892
