Quote:
Wisconsin's concealed carry law isn't even a month old, but thousands of your friends and neighbors already have permission to pack heat and they're buying up the hardware to do it.

Wisconsin became the 49th state to allow residents to carry concealed weapons this month. Questions about liability still linger, but gun sales have increased across the state and the state Justice Department has been deluged with so many permit requests it's already scrambling to keep up.

"Long time coming," said Matt Slavik, 58, of Brookfield.

In Hillsbourgh County Florida where Tampa is located 42,832 people have concealed weapons permits. That's almost as many as the 44,443 applications that have been submitted in Wisconsin. The Cheeseheads have a way to go before they catch up with Florida crackers.
