Well for my own purposes, I have reapplied for aconcealed weapons permit for a couple of reasons. One is we have some new drug activity a couple of houses down from me and one of my friends that has their house for sale and has moved to VA has had people living in it. Broke in and tore up the place. which means that the increase of drug activity means the increase in crime. I need to be protected and take care of my wife and kids. Secondly, I fear with this new administration, the ability to obtain one will be further out of my reach. So I am one of the appplicants that has an application sitting in a box somewhere waiting for processing.
