According to The Independent, public interest in concealed carry permits has spiked since the Feb. 14 school shooting in Florida, with “as much as a 250-percent increase in training requests for this type of permit.”
Many Americans have no doubt decided to take their self-defense more seriously after seeing law enforcement fail to adequately respond during that crisis. However, the dramatic numbers indicate there is a much more pro-gun response to the recent tragedy than after similar incidents in the past.
“There’s been a lot of shootings, unfortunately, in this country, but we’ve never seen a spike this big before, even with Newtown,” said Chris Schultrop, who runs the National Carry Academy providing citizen training to 27 states.
