Sheriff's office adds hours for gun permits

[ALS]

The crush of Lackawanna County residents seeking permits to carry concealed weapons shows no sign of letting up - to the point Sheriff John Szymanski's office is adding extra hours to handle it.

The sheriff announced Monday that his office in the courthouse will stay open until 8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays to issue gun permits. The extended hours start today.

"We are trying to accommodate the citizens who are having difficulty making arrangements to get in here" during regular business hours, the sheriff said.

Wow...moving over from NJ recently, this is a welcomed sight to see. In NJ they'd say "be here between 1 PM and 1:20 PM on Thursday or wait 3 more months.

Good sign that many people are getting their carry. I believe all this BS we see on national polls is BS regarding gun control! Try finding Ammo, guns, etc.
