More than 100,000 men and women hold concealed-carry permits

That is not that many. FL has 1 million+. PA has nearly 1 Million.

Colorado does not have that big of a population. I bet the permits per thousand is similar.

And, my Wife just got a call from (Adams County) Sheriff Doug Darr's office to tell her that her CCW was approved, and on it's way in the mail.

W00T!!!

100,000? Our county is only about 140,000. I’d bet most of it has them. We do!!

That number appears a little low to me.

First, sheriffs are not required to report to any other authority when they issue permits, and many were elected on a promise not to report to the state.

Second, except for Denver, open carry is legal and not uncommon.

Third, carry of a loaded handgun in a vehicle is legal - without a permit.

Finally, an awful lot of people don't recognize the authority of the state to restrict a constitutional right and do what they damn well please.
