(Worthy News) – People are surging to sign up for training to carry concealed weapons in the wake of the Parkland school shooting, as analysts say sustained media coverage and calls for more gun control encourage people to look for ways to protect themselves.
Gun sales also appear to be on the rise, based on federal background checks.

The company said it was the biggest jump since the 2012 school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
