(Before It's News)

 

My son-in-law: “I applied yesterday. They booked me into their soonest available interview slot, November 15th, 2014. What a joke!”

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department may hire temporary staff to help process a flood of concealed weapons permit applications in the wake of its decision to loosen the county’s gun restrictions.

More than 500 people have applied for concealed weapons permits in Orange County in the last 10 days, nearly as many as applied all of last year.

Sheriff Sandra Hutchens announced the policy change last week in response to a pro-gun U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that California counties may no longer require residents who want to carry concealed firearms to demonstrate a specific, individualized need to do so.

Because the ruling is not yet final, and if successfully appealed may never take effect, Hutchens said applicants are encouraged to submit a statement of “good cause,” even though it’s no longer required.
