The Second Amendment never sounded so good. In lieu of police layoffs and having fewer officers on Tulsa streets, more people are applying for a concealed carry license.
However, the look of students signing up is changing, because more women are enrolling. In the last decade, weapons instructor, Robert Welch says female enrollment has tripled.
"they need it more than us guys do,” said Welch.” "This is about personal self defense."
Welch said obtaining a concealed carry license is fairly simple. Students must attend an eight hour course, which covers how to use a gun. Upon completion, students must then apply for a license. Approval could take up to 90 days. Licenses are valid for five years.
