    | In order to get a CCW permit, you have been shown to have "NO" felony convictions in your lifetime, You have "Never" been convicted of any drug offenses, You have "Passed" a criminal background check, and finally, have been charged a license fee, and tax by the State, to exercise a freedom granted by the Federal Constitution, all the while being looked at as if  you are a suspect of some kind. It's not the law abiding that you need to be afraid of. |

    | Point of information, Stripeseven: 
 The Constitution doesn't "grant" freedoms, it GUARANTEES them.
 
 Freedom is endowed by the Creator.

                      | The congress of the United States possesses no power to regulate, or interfere with the domestic concerns, or police of any state: it belongs not to them to establish any rules respecting the rights of property; nor will the constitution permit any prohibition of arms to the people; or of peaceable assemblies by them, for any purposes whatsoever, and in any number, whenever they may see occasion. —ST.
