Loudoun County's concealed carry handgun permits have risen by nearly 500 percent in the past eight years, according to figures provided by the Loudoun County Clerk of Court's Office. Clerk of the Circuit Court Gary Clemens (R) says applications have increased so much that his staff is overwhelmed by the requests. As a result of the surge in applications, Clemens asked the Board of Supervisors to approve a $75,019 request in its 2018 budget to hire a new civil case management clerk to help with concealed carry applications and other tasks. Supervisors eventually signed off on Clemens' request. |

The Baltimore County Council on Monday voted to repeal a county ban on stun guns. In 2009 the county banned Tasers and other types of stun guns for personal use. But in 2016 a U.S. Supreme Court ruling suggested that Second Amendment protections extend to stun guns, and a group of area residents filed a federal lawsuit in January challenging local bans in Baltimore and Howard counties and Baltimore City. |
