This spring came with a surge in both firearm prices and permit requests. That hasnât slowed down much, according to area gun dealers and law enforcement officials.
In both Carver and Scott counties, firearm permit-to-carry demand continues to be steady. (Data does not include permit-to-purchase requests, some of which are handled separately by local police departments.)
In Scott County, carry permits averaged at 241 per month, steadily increasing each month from April to October. October saw 444 carry permits, and through Nov. 12, monthly permits were at 345, according to Sheryl Schmitt, administrative services supervisor with the Scott County Sheriffâs Office.
