Roads Are Getting Safer In The Bakken; The Streets Might Be Getting Safer, Too -- "Everyone" Is Carrying A Gun

The Williston Herald is reporting:
For the fourth time in five months, the Williston Police Department reports that accidents in 2013 went down compared to 2012.
Lt. Mark Bitz reports that in September there were 140 accidents, down from the 150 reported in September 2012.
Vehicle damage also plummeted in September with damage valued at $474,750, a drop of almost $150,000 when compared to September 2012. The police reported there was $18,700 in private property damage and $26,100 in public property damage.
There were no pedestrian or bicycle accidents in September, and there was one motorcycle involved in an accident.
There were 22 people injured in September, one less than in 2012. 
Meanwhile, The Dickinson Press is reporting:
North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says the state crime bureau is “overwhelmed” with applications for concealed weapons licenses, creating longer wait times for applicants at a time when a change in state law recently raised the application fee from $45 to $60.
My hunch is this folks: folks in North Dakota are more concerned about the Feds banning weapons than banning fracking.
