The Texas Department of Public Safety is Swamped with Concealed Handgun License Requests

Summary: The DPS has seen a 39% increase in applications for CHLs. This is causing to take approximately 30 days more than their usual allotted time to issue the licenses. The extreme increase in applications is attributed to the possibility of an anti-gun Democrat in the White House and last year’s Virginia Tech shootings.

My Opinion: I very much agree with the Presidential race spurring this. You are not just seeing increases in CHL applications. There has been a huge surge in purchases of reloading equipment, magazines with a capacity of 10+, and what the media calls assault weapons. With congress already controlled by Democrats (including extremely anti-gun members in leadership positions), most people who value their right to keep and bear arms are dreading the results of the Novemeber election.
