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.

The only new cc holders i know are dems started during the primaries.

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.

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.

…despite the rabid anti-gun activism…

"Despite"? Ha, BECAUSE OF!! Brain dead twit author.

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.

“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).”

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.

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

Leftwingers brought this all upon themselves with their lawlessness.
People are not going to allow themselves to be beaten to death just because they are wearing a red hat.

The most notable demographic increase was found to be among women and minorities.

BLM/ANTIFA/Occupy Democrats wanting to "defend" themselves from the NRA?

They want a war - they have stated that repeatedly. Obama told them to bring a gun to a knife-fight.

Don't be complacent. They will lose in the end. But they will hurt/kill a lot of innocent people in the beginning because a lot of people are not taking their threat seriously.

IMHO. YMMV. My 2 cents.
