You may need some more information. A CCW is a Concealed Carry Weapon license.
Vermont and Alaska are the only two states where a license isn't necessary.
"Shall Issue" means that the controlling authorities can't pick and choose individuals they deem worthy to have their rights. They have to issue the license if the applicant is a law abiding citizen.
"May Issue" means the sheriff can deny an application if the person isn't a personal friend or contributor. That's why most sheriffs and police chief are for this type of law. It keeps the coffers full.
"Rights Denied" are just that. No license is possible.

I wasn't referring to any gun laws or ideologies in my comment.

I was simply stating that people in rural areas see the value in intervening and will do so, and then correlating that to Bush's support in those areas -- as opposed to urban folks who are used to having things taken care of, by the government ("for free"), as in a nanny-state.

For what it's worth, I support gun rights.
