"Concealed-carry permits rise, restrictions loosen"

The article mentions that laws were changed allowing to have concealed guns in their cars and the dropping of the six month residency requirement to get a carry permit. It goes on to mention that Kentucky gets an "F" from some anti-gun group.

It goes on to mention that carry permits issued went from 11,000 in 2004 to 60,000 in 2013.

" ... state lawmakers say loosening gun laws is popular among their constituents, some of whom are concerned about self-defense and others of whom are worried that their the federal government will move to restrict gun ownership"

Channel 5 WLWT out of Cincinnati also did an article on this topic. There are some more items mentioned as well.

"At Tony Wheatley's concealed-carry class in Louisville, the 300 people who enrolled in the three months after the Newtown shootings equaled the total number of students in all of 2012.

"The biggest increase is in teachers, school administrators and bus drivers," said Wheatley. "They are wanting to protect themselves." "
