Hey guys I was just reading a interesting article on LTC permits renewals and new apps have been down statewide. This article was written in July so I am not sure if you guys talked about it yet. I found one quote from the spokeman for Dept of Public Safety and Security
"Both license to carry and FID cards are good for six years," said Terrel Harris, spokesman for the state Office of Public Safety and Security, so the numbers for licenses granted in any given year "doesn't mean that's all that's out there."
It's hard to draw conclusions, "certainly not for trends," from the statistics on licenses issued, said Wallace, because "I don't think anyone has any idea" how many applications there are. "There's no state oversight of the system as a whole."
