Preaching to the choir. Lots of stuff about the BS has been challenged. Surprisingly (not), nothing has happened. As for references specifically, I don't know.
Like the application process. "Pistol permits" are about the most useless laws we have in this state.I think that asking for references is perfectly acceptable. I just don't think there should be so much bull**** after you get your permit. Make the application process thorough enough, and you eliminate the need for senseless rules that only affect law abiding citizens in the first place.
Why do you get fingerprinted to do everything nowadays? You are not a criminal! You should not be treated as such. No fee, no permit, no BG check and you'd have the same amount of crime. See: The majority of states that have never HEARD of a pistol permit and I have to explain what it is to residents.ideally it would be nice if law biding ciitzens did not have to ask for what is a right like carrying a gun to protect yourself.
I can almost support the idea of permits, but I dont like the hoopla. I think a background check, small fee and finger printing should suffice.
