Iowa CCW Permits Double in One Year
Iowa passed a “shall issue” law in 2010 and in 2011 the number of permits doubled.
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.

Washington Times Editor Wins Journalism Award
Over the past few months Emily Miller at the Washington Times has been investigating how hard it is to get a gun permit in Washington, D.C. Even after the landmark Heller case, it has been one piece of red tape after another. She has made clear that is is easier to break the law and get a gun, than it is to follow the law and get a gun.
From Guns.com:
Emily Miller, Senior Editor for Opinion for The Washington Times, won the Clark Mollenhoff Award for Investigative Journalism because of her “Emily Gets Her Gun” report.
Illinois College Holding Utah Concealed Carry Classes
From Guns.com:
That might sound odd, but it actually makes quite a bit of sense. Utah concealed carry permits are recognized in 31 states, so a permit carrier can cross most state lines without too much concern for variable state gun laws. It’s a bit ironic considering that Illinois is the only state that doesn’t permit concealed carry, but where there’s a will there’s a way. Illinois citizens can still prepare for trips abroad into concealed carry-friendly states.
