According to Harmon (per the article linked to by Armed_Chicagoan):

Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart has reported that of nearly 9,500 county residents who applied for five-year concealed carry permits since early January, 300 had records for domestic violence, gang activity, gun crimes, sex crimes, burglary and other criminal activity.Yet, the Illinois State Police had given initial approval to all but five of those applicants for concealed carry (Chicago Sun-Times, Feb. 12, 2014).

That has to be a B.S. statistic. He says 300 had "records." I wonder if he is counting misdemeanors and traffic offenses or if the 300 is totally fabricated.
