HELENA - Officials say that requests for concealed weapons permits are much higher than usual this year.
The Missoula County Sheriff's Office says the increase has resulted in a backlog and delays. Sheriff Mike McMeekin says they have been getting far more applications since last fall.
County sheriffs charge a $50 application fee and conduct background checks with local, state and federal governments. They also request proof of some kind of gun training before issuing permits.
According to Justice Department statistics, Montana has issued more concealed-weapon permits in the first six months of 2009 than it issued during all of 2008.
Gun stores have also reported an increase in sales, citing fears that the Obama administration may pursue new gun laws.
