Gun permit applications in Newtown, Conn., skyrocketed in the five months after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December, reflecting the anxiety among residents as the legislature was debating tougher gun-control legislation, the Hartford Courant first reported.

Between January and May of this year, Newtown residents applied for 183 permits, up from the 87 permits during the same time period last year. Connecticut towns award temporary permits, whereas the state issues full permits, the newspaper said.

So -- they somehow think that being able to own/carry guns will be more protective than not owning/carrying guns? Haven't they been listening to the mainstream media and the liberal legislators who think we need to regulate guns more, not put more out there?
