Tennessee is seeing a surge in applications for handgun carry permits.
Applications increased by more than 100 percent during the first six months of this year. Tennessee accepted more than 86,000 applications, compared with just over 40,000 during the first six months of 2012.
The surge came just as new laws were enacted protecting permit holders from criminal prosecution and prohibiting public release of their names.
In fact the surge is so strong, that it's causing an increase in waiting time at state drivers license stations, which handle the permits.
