Iowa gun permits climb in second year of relaxed law
CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — The number of Iowans with permits to carry concealed weapons increased dramatically in 2012, the second year of a relaxed law governing how they’re issued.
Sheriffs in Iowa’s 99 counties issued more than 37,000 permits in the first 11 months of the year, according to The Gazette in Cedar Rapids.
Nearly 103,000 were issued in 2011, the first year after Iowa went from a “may issue” to a “shall issue” state.
