I've viewed a copy of it online.
1. they ask for one's SSN: I don't know if a LTC will be denied if one fails to provide it.
It's not required on the DROS to purchase a gun from an FFL even, only an option. There are some American citizens that don't even have a SSN. They've never worked as a W-2 employee in their lives. Maybe they are lifetime welfare bums. Maybe they are lifetime disabled. Maybe they've been independently rich all their lives. Maybe they've only been self-employeed and have a taxpayer ID number instead for the IRS. Maybe they've only worked under the table.
2. they ask about prior arrests and charges for past crimes: what they should only ask is whether somebody has been CONVICTED for any crime that would prohibit them from owning a gun in the first place as a felony, for example: an applicant should not be required to reveal getting busted for stealing a candy bar from Walmart on a separate form if that's all they have on their rap sheet
3. the standard fee which is $40 and non-refundable, if you fail the application, you get screwed out of this money for nothing: I think veterans and military as myself get a reduced fee or no fee as well as a firearms training requirement exemption for having been in the service
This is why I favor CC for states. No fees. No hassles. No red tape. No government pumping you for a lot of personal information. CCWs/LTCs are a way for the non-CC states to generate revenue from citizens. It's a way of taxing rights under the 2nd A. It's a way for the govt's to spy on its own citizens, infringe upon privacy rights. Imagine if you were to have to pay $40 every time you move an register to vote.
