Gun permits have surged more than 90 percent in Cumberland County since 2014, with so many applications that the Sheriff's Office struggles to keep up.
The number of permit applications rose from 9,339 in 2014 to more than 17,888 last year, including permits to purchase pistols or concealed carry permits, according to Sheriff's Office lawyer Ronnie Mitchell.
Sheriff Moose Butler asked county commissioners on Thursday for funding for an additional employee to handle firearms permits, because his office doesn't have enough people to get fingerprints from applicants.
Ed.: Easy fix: repeal purchase permits and pass Constitutional Carry. |

They don't know or they're not telling?
I think anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows why everyone is gunning up.
1) We have a govt that's acting as an enemy. 2) We have a govt that's letting an avowed enemy in through the front gates. 3) Said govt isn't interested in fixing the problem and protecting the public. 4) They want to apply the wrong solutions to the real threat by attacking the good citizenry. 5) On their best day, they are incapable of stopping determined attacks. 6) We are responsible for our own first response.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
