The number of concealed carry weapons (CCW) permits is soaring to new levels despite the rabid anti-gun activism following a slew of school shootings over the past year.

Issued CCW permits increased approximately 275 percent over a ten-year period, from 4.6 million permits in 2007 to over 17.25 permits in 2018, according to a study released Friday by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC). The number has been increasing year over year and is forecast to continue trending upwards.

The most notable demographic increase was found to be among women and minorities. During the aforementioned time period, CCW issuance jumped 111 percent faster for women than for men. Moreover, compared to white individuals, permits for Asian and black individuals spiked 29 percent and 20 percent quicker, respectively.

The picture at the linked article is not the one to which I was referring. Either they changed the picture or I followed a link in the linked article and saw some other picture.

The picture I was criticizing showed a person drawing from the small of the back with their trigger finger clearly on the trigger.

A lot of folks don’t realize the 2nd Amendment was to protect the general population from the government as much as lawless individuals.

The Second Amendment, Militia Act, Federalist/Anti-Federalist Papers, John 22:36, and God are my permit to carry.

Did I mischaracterize your comment?

We’re you NOT saying that “shall issue” is an acceptable substitute for your unimpeded right?

Do you believe convicted murderers have the right to carry guns?

“Shall Issue implies Can Revoke.”

Surrounded by gun-control opponents heckling him outside the Vermont State House on Wednesday, Gov. Phil Scott (R) signed into law the most restrictive gun-control measures in the state’s history.

hmmm. Won’t answer my question! Afraid to admit that you consider some restrictions on the right to bear arms?
