NYCPD Now Issuing CHL For Out Of State Permits
From Ammoland:
The New York City Police Department (NYPD) will start processing concealed carry permits for out-of-state residents to avoid a possible lawsuit. NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban signed the new rule on August 1, and NYC Mayor Eric Adams signed the order on August 6. It was released to the public on August 9. The new rule goes into effect immediately.
Citizens Who Have Stopped Public Shooters
From Reason.com:
I had written about this in past years, but I thought I’d update it to reflect the El Paso incident from last week. According to the El Paso Police Department (see also CNN [Andy Rose]), a confrontation between two groups of teenagers at a mall “escalated into a physical fight” and then into a 16-year-old fatally shooting a member of the other group and seriously wounding another member, as well as injuring a member of his own group. Then,
As soon as the shooting ended, the 16-year-old suspect began to run and was pointing the gun towards the direction of bystanders, including 32-year-old Emanuel Duran, a Licensed to Carry Holder. As the suspect ran towards Duran and bystanders, Duran drew his handgun and shot the suspect.
RI State Police Colonel Says It’s Too Easy To Get CHL
From Bearing Arms:
“There’s no scenario-based training, no low-light level training, no storage of firearms training, no, uh, so uh, I think there are holes in the concealed carry permitting system.â€
Texas Cutting CHL/LTC Fees
From Guns.com:
The House on Tuesday tentatively approved in an 111-30 vote SB 16, which would drop permit fees from $140 to $40 on first-time applications and renewals from $70 to $40, setting the measure up for a third and final reading in the chamber. A legislative priority for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Texas has some of the highest handgun license costs in the country.
Texas Reaches 1 Million Concealed Handgun Licenses
From AllGov.com:
As of April 30, there were 1,017,618 active handgun license holders in Texas, according to the state agency that oversees the process, the Department of Public Safety. That means there are more people in Texas with permission to carry a gun than there are residents of the city of Fort Worth. Texas’ numbers far exceed those in several other states. Oklahoma has more than 251,000. South Carolina has 276,084. Washington state, 534,978. Tennessee, 555,865. But at least one state has more license holders: Florida, with 1,743,954.
However, Texas, with 5,672 permits issued per 100,000 adults 21 and over, is not the state with the most gun permits per capita. Florida (11,965 permits per 100,000 adults), Tennessee (11,851 per 100,000 adults) and Washington state (10,635 per 100,000 adults) are some of the leaders by that measure.
300,000 Concealed Carry Holders In Wisconsin
From Townhall:
Wisconsin reached a major milestone this week: 300,000 of its residents are licensed to carry a concealed firearm. That’s eight percent of the state’s population. Of course, you have some liberals who feel that this trend is “alarming,†and that it leads to an increase in violent crime–despite the fact that such crime is at its lowest rates in nearly five decades.
Veteran With CHL Saves Deputy’s Life
From The Austin American-Statesman:
“I’m alive today because of him,†the deputy, 23-year-old Dylan Dorris said Wednesday, reflecting on the events surrounding a disturbance call outside a Bastrop County gas station Jan. 16. “There are no words to explain it. He’s such an outstanding citizen. He’s here for our country, our community and you really feel the love.â€
Perkins’ actions caused the suspect to leave Dorris and flee, before he was detained and taken into custody by another deputy and Dorris shortly after.
Study Says More Armed Civilians Equals Less Crime
From NRA-ILA:
Overall, the study notes, between 2007 and 2014, as permit numbers have increased, “murder rates have fallen from 5.6 to 4.2 (preliminary estimates) per 100,000. This represents a 25% drop in the murder rate at the same time that the percentage of the adult population with permits soared by 156%. Overall violent crime also fell by 25 percent over that period of time.â€
Single Mom and PA CHL Holder Avoids Prison Time in NJ
From The Gun Writer:
mother facing prison time for bringing her legally registered gun into New Jersey will be allowed into a diversion program, after the attorney general clarified a directive that had expanded New Jersey’s gun law.
Shaneen Allen was arrested last year after a motor vehicle stop on the Atlantic City Expressway in Hamilton Township. She told the state trooper that she had her loaded gun and a concealed carry permit with her.
Pink Pistols: Gay Gun Rights Group
Their website is mostly a list of press releases but they do have information on starting a local chapter. The organization is mostly focused on self defense and CHLs because gays have been specifically targeted in the past. It is no different than the sixties when blacks were targeted for beatings. The minority used guns to defend itself then and they are doing so now.
Louisiana Introduces Bill to Allow Lifetime Carry Permit
From Guns.com:
Prior to the passage of House Bill 265, Louisiana gun owners who wanted to carry a firearm for self-defense outside the home had to renew their concealed carry permit every five years and pay a fee of $125. Now, though, assuming Gov. Bobby Jindal signs HB 265 into law, gun owners can purchase a lifetime CCW permit for $500 provided they agree to undergo firearm training and education classes every five years.
Texas CHL Holders No Longer Limited By Category
From KTXS:
The new bill allows license holders to carry any type of handgun, regardless of what category of weapon they used to qualify.
Wyoming Gun Sales, CHLs Increase
From Billings Gazette:
In fiercely independent, outdoors-loving Wyoming, a re-election of President Barack Obama could bring a windfall to gun shop owners.
Additionally, the state’s number of concealed-firearm permits through September of this year is higher than in previous years despite a new law allowing carrying without a permit. And the number is expected to only increase.
