Florida can't keep up with concealed weapons permit requests

who? TALLAHASSEE
what? People in Florida are fearful of the economic future, and one way they are coping is by buying guns.
when? Wednesday, 02.18.09
where? Tallahassee Florida
why? The state office that issues concealed weapons permits is buried under a backlog of 95,000 applications, and doesn't have enough money in its budget to do the job. A legislative budget panel is being asked to approve a midyear budget transfer of nearly $4 million to catch up to the demand for permits.
how? A permit is valid for seven years and costs $120, which includes a $44 charge for applicants to undergo state and federal criminal history checks by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and pay for a set of fingerprints.
