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.

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
