Number of gun-license applications rise steeply in Berks County

by Steve Reinbrecht

Almost 10 times as many people in Berks County applied for a state license to carry a firearm in 2015 as applied in 2001, according to the sheriff’s office.

In 2015, more guns were sold in Berks – 39,013 – than in any county in Pennsylvania except Allegheny, which contains Pittsburgh.


From 2008 to 2015, the average annual denial rate was 1.9 percent.
