Hunting may be a popular activity in Michigan, but when it comes to states that are most dependent on the gun industry, it isn't one of them.
Prompted by increased conversation regarding gun control and reform, the personal finance website Wallethub recently conducted a study analyzing the economic impact of guns on each of the 50 states.
Michigan finished 40th overall, meaning its in the bottom 10 when it comes to reliance on firearms.
In general, the firearm industry is big business. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, guns contributed more than $51 billion to the U.S. economy and generated over $6.5 billion in federal and state taxes in 2017.
