Further, licenses are issued by the Police chief. It is common for legal, honest, no record citizens to have to go to court to have a judge order a chief to issue a license.
Further, you are required to take, even if you just got out of Delta Force a course. So, getting a gun, besides the gun cost can be a $500, and if you need a lawyer, maybe a $1,500 dollar expense, plus you have pissed off your local Police chief, if you go to court.( On the plus side for the stateist, it makes it hard for racial minorities and the great unwashed peasantry, whom elites everywhere have historical kept unarmed.)
Thanks.
