Hoosier moms and mothers from across the country are commemorating the one-year anniversary of the tragedy that befell Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. Moms Demand Action, an organization formed by an Indiana mother in the wake of the mass shooting that left 26 dead, now has more than 120,000 members and chapters in every state.
The number of gun permits has risen in Pulaski County since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on Dec. 14.
Pulaski County Sheriff Michael Gayer said the staff had been processing five gun permits a week and now five permits a day are being processed. Lifetime permits are being issued more frequently since the right to bear arms has come into the news since the school shooting.
