Demand For Concealed Carry Permits Is Skyrocketing
dailycaller.com ^ | 8/19/2018 | Molly Prince

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.

Rabid? That must be the American anti 2nd amendment tour group starring little dave and the hoggalinskis. Not to worry kids. Folks just subjecting themselves to obtaining permission to do what should be a no brainer.

A right that you must petition the state for permission to exercise, is a right that you don’t have.

This nugget was included in the story:

...in Florida and Texas, two states with the largest number of permits issued, permit holders are convicted of misdemeanor and felony crimes [at] one-sixth of the rate that law enforcement officers are convicted.

Been saying it for years - if you trouble to get a permit, you're probably not the problem.

“A right that you must petition the state for permission to exercise, is a right that you don’t have.”

Many states are ‘shall issue’.

Of course it is. Leftists want to control you and if they can not control you, they want to kill many of you so they can control the rest.

Learn to defend yourself, folks. It is what the 2nd amendment is all about.

The picture accompanying the article depicts a blatant violation of firearm safety rules. Unless, that is, the picture is showing a person defending himself by shoving a gun into the back of a perpetrators pants with intention of shooting him in the bum.

And MILLIONS of them vote Democrat...and will continue to vote Democrat...until the Dems come for THEIR GUNS. Then they’ll be with us for life, providing we can stop the Dems first.

All laws,rules, and regulations respecting firearms or any other recognized-to-be arms are UnConstitutional. “...shall not be infringed” is absolute. Permission i.e CCW can be withdrawn and denotes a registry of those who carry legally which is all infringement..

Shall Issue implies Can Revoke.

Will or shall, if you have to have the approval of the local authorities is what Hugh is saying. VT may carry at will no permit required and one or two others also I believe.

It could be worse - at least he is not putting it in front with his finger on the trigger.

So you’re saying that “in many states” you can speak your mind. (So long as what you say isn’t offensive to the state)?

/Sarc.
