NC: Gun permits surge 90 percent in Cumberland County

Go for it! Lets see what county can take the Blue Ribbon. :)

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.
"We're asking for help," he said. "This is a needed position over there."

    Under the 2nd all this crap (fingerprints, permits, permission to buy) is all unconstitutional. But they "need" more funding. (spits)

      not as dangerous a place at Fayetteville

      Can't believe what has happened to that place since I took basic there in 1966. Come to think of it, I can't believe what has happened to the world since then. :)
