The Ithaca Journal is the latest media outlet to report that gun sales are way up across the state:
“… fingerprints processed for gun applications are up about 50 percent over last year, though the state Division of Criminal Justice Services expects the rate to level to a 30 percent increase when the year is finished …”
Pistol license applications look to be up between 25% and 50% depending up the county and I have been hearing of processing delays in Erie, Onondaga and Orange counties. Sure it’s a pain, but just think about how much this must be pissing off Mayor Bloomberg.
