[QUOTE="xSMOKExLESSxCRACKx, post: 977288, member: 5913"] It's hard to get detailed statistics from a lot of states but I did source this little tid-bit from [URL="http://legallyarmed.com/ccw_statistics.htm"]legallyarmed.com[/URL] Pennsylvania ccw permits issued per year; 2004: 107,285 2005: 101,643 2006: 102,473 2007: 164,824 2008: 150,843 / 1st half of 2008 Now, this is just Pennsylvania's numbers, but I'd bet that most other states have seen this same massive increase in issued ccw permits over the last couple of years. And with the wild success of pocket pistols the last few years it was sure to send the demand for .380 ammo skyrocketing. However, I'm not sure why ammo manufactures haven't expanded there productions capabilities. Perhaps they have been unsure whether it has been just a temporary run on .380 ammo, or if this level of demand is simply the "new normal". [/QUOTE]
