Florida Gun Sales Up 82%

[TxD]

"Floridians have requested 187,162 concealed-weapon permit applications over the last six months -- an 82 percent increase compared with a year earlier."

"The Florida gun boom corresponds with a national surge in gun ownership. The FBI reported 12.7 million background checks on gun buyers last year, up from 11.2 million in 2007.
In just the last three months of 2008, FBI background checks surged by 27 percent compared with the same period in 2007."

Interesting. I'd really like to see the Texas numbers and see how we compare.

I'm wondering. Since CHL holders (at least in TX) don't have to get a background check those numbers don't count their purchases right? I mean I've bought something like 5-6 guns just since the election.
