With home invasions and other robberies on the rise in and around Indianapolis, gun store owners say there is a "large increase" in the number residents who are "buying guns, applying for gun permits, and taking gun safety courses."
RTV6 ABC reports that these guns are being bought for self-defense.
Trade Post gun store owner Brian Ludlow said the home invaders "aren't coming in and being nice about it." Rather, "most of [the] criminals are armed when they come in. So by arming yourself you level the playing field."
Indiana State Police show "a steady increase" for concealed carry permits throughout 2013, with a surge of requests in the third quarter.
