Backlog Of Gun Permit Requests Cripples Police Force

Ever since the Sandy Hook shooting devastated the Newtown, CT community and the country at large, many states have seen a dramatic increase in gun permit requests. Indiana`s backlog is no different, with 23,000 requests coming in January alone. Customers are facing a 6 month wait time to be able to purchase a gun. Police say they don`t have enough personnel to process all of the applications in a timely fashion.
