MADISON (WKOW) -

Gun sales appear to be up in Wisconsin.

While exact figures on firearm sales don't exist, the number of background checks with the FBI and Wisconsin Department of Justice suggest more guns are being sold this year in Wisconsin than ever before.

Some gun dealers say the rising demand could be thanks to the concealed carry law.

"The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence" says higher household gun ownership leads to more homicides, suicides and unintentional shootings.
