I think that the Congress and the administration would like to take away all gun owners rights.  We are gun owners and Greg and I both have a concealed carry permit.  At the end of last year, when we went to the Sheriff&#39;s Dept. to apply for a renewal, one of the deputies told us that they have been absolutely swamped with permit requests because once Obama took office, gun owner&#39;s rights were going to be greatly affected.  Even though we do already have permits, our renewal is taking a long time because we still have to go thru background checks and they are months behind because of the influx in applications.  I talked to them again on Monday as the ones we have now are expiring in a few weeks, and she said that she will see if she can get us moved to the top of the lists as it has been a  couple of months since we re-applied...
