This Day in History: 1910-02-05

So many people have asked for permits to carry revolvers that the Hohokus Township Board wondered if there was a sudden rash of Desperados in Town.  Some of the people who requested the permits said they regularly carry large sums of money.  The others were asked to appear before the Board to explain their reasons.  Township Treasurer Hagerman complained “If you issue many more you will have to have a new book printed.”
