Message: <blockquote data-quote="TerryMiller" data-source="post: 2241357" data-attributes="member: 7900">From the article:"Jessica Brown, media spokeswoman for the OSBI, said its unclear what is causing the sharp increase in Oklahoma. We dont know what is spurring the need. We dont know why it went up so much, she said.Betsy Randolph, state trooper and spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, said she thinks that violent acts in recent years, such as the school massacre in Newton, Conn., in December 2012, and talk of more gun control have caused more people to purchase firearms and seek concealed- or -open-carry permits."The lefties would also possibly "dirty their pants" if they actually thought of the number of permit holders that were buying additional weapons that aren't showing up in the permit numbers.However, I do have to question one thing in that article.  That was the image of the state of Oklahoma with Cimarron County being in the range of 2000 to 2413.  I'm originally from Cimarron County and I wouldn't bet that the population out there was too much more than the numbers listed as permit holders.  As of the 2010 census, Cimarron County's population is listed as 2,475, according to Wikipedia.Heh, based on that "figure" from the story, be v-e-r-y  c-a-r-e-f-u-l  if you go out there.</blockquote>
