Demand for gun permits is high right now, with county sheriffs across the state reporting that they're getting 10 to 20 times the normal amount of weapons permit applications. A new law took effect Saturday that requires sheriffs under most circumstances to issue permits to carry concealed weapons. Sheriffs previously had greater discretion to deny or restrict the permits. In Polk County, 308 gun owners - or soon-to-be gun owners - appeared Monday to apply for permits or renewals. Clerks at the headquarters office said they typically had handed out about 300 applications in the entire month.
