Concealed handgun permits up in Boulder County, Colorado

The Colorado Daily has this:

Permits to carry concealed handguns in Boulder County spiked to a five-year high last month, amid a national rush to buy firearms in the days leading up to the presidential election.

So far this year, the Boulder County Sheriff's Office has received 483 applications and issued 428 permits to carry handguns concealed.

The number of county permits already has jumped 16 percent over last year's total, and nearly double the five-year low of 219 permits issued in 2005 -- and there's still about seven weeks left in the year. . . .
