Hall County Probate Court Judge Patti Cornett remembers when the permit to carry a concealed handgun in Georgia was called a "pistol toting license."
That was in the 1960s, when there were fewer handgun owners, and fewer people, in Hall County.
Today, at least 5,000 of Hall County’s 173,000-plus residents are permitted by law to carry a concealed, holstered gun, and the number applying for new permits daily has approached overwhelming levels in Cornett’s office. Applications for Georgia firearms licenses are up 50 percent in Hall County this year over last.
"We had as many in the first six months as we did all of the previous year," Cornett said.

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
