Even Mass. Citizens Looking to Get Permits

It seems that even citizens in the traditionally liberal state of Massachusetts are looking to obtain firearm permits, The Boston Globe reports. According to the paper this came a surprise to everyone: 

“The magnitude of the rise, evident in nearly every corner of the state, surprised law enforcement officials, and gun advocates and opponents alike.”
