Could you ever picture this happening in the PRNJ?

Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva announced on Wednesday that his department is set to expand the number of approved concealed weapons permits as the area experiences a rampant uptick in violent crime.

In May, the county experienced a 95% uptick in murder, 7% increase in rape, a 13% jump in aggravated assaults, a 40% rise in grand theft auto, and a 22% uptick in arson incidents, compared to the same time frame in 2020, the law enforcement boss disclosed in a video. Villanueva, who said, "We have less cops on the street, more crooks, less consequences," promised to lower the "good cause" standard to obtain a carry permit.
