The tipping point is here, lol

In the week of Nov. 30, 2015, OSBI received 604 applications. Two months later, in the week of Jan. 25, 2016, OSBI received 1,434, more than double that received only weeks earlier, according to a release from the agency.

"The reasoning for this increase is a matter of opinion since the application does not ask for a reason for applying for the license," officials state in the release. "However, during this time frame several sheriffs across the state waived their $25 fingerprinting fee and encouraged their citizens to apply for a license as a means of personal protection."

The agency said the actions by some sheriff's "could certainly have had an effect on the amount of applications received by the Bureau."

Garfield County Sheriff Jerry Niles said his office has seen a similar increase in interest in gun permits.

1. It's tipped alright...

2. This is not the tipping point you have been looking for

"This is not the tipping point we have been looking for"

Now move along

3. The people like their rights...and want to keep them, now that's progressive.

4. I think you're confused

This article is about gun owners applying for permits to carry their weapons in public, it's not about new gun purchases.

The local gun nut sheriff ran a sale on gun permits and the number of applications increased. I suspect the number of applications were much lower after the sale ended.

5. When it's gun purchases it's not new owners. When it's new owners it's not new gun purchases.
