Wisconsin’s concealed carry program passed a major milestone earlier this month – issuing permit number 300,000 since the program began in 2011.

The state Department of Justice announced that the permit was issued on March 24, following a period of heavy activity that kicked off the year. The agency said applications have been coming in this year at “record high levels” and that “interest in firearm ownership shows no signs of subsiding.”

Since January 1 of this year, the DOJ Criminal Information Bureau has processed 19,515 concealed carry applications, and 131,648 requests for Handgun Hotline background checks.
