R.I.P. Scout26
They have to do a FIVE DAY class? Yeah, only rich people need apply. I am so glad Texas doesn't allow every little town to set their own rules. There are a lot of conservatives down here, but there are also lots of nosy busy bodies in local politics that would make some towns tough to live in (or near).
I'd write them an essay... It would focus mostly on why guns are a necessity when the government is better at harassing the law-abiding than punishing the guilty.
There's always Chelmsford, or wander a few miles north and be done with it. A non-resident MA permit may be good for only one year but there's no added BS.
Remember to have the county sheriff sign your ballot before submitting it.
Do you need a note from the funeral director if you're dead?
Thinking about this, I'd be really interested in reading an essay from someone that is approved and one from someone who is rejected. Curious to see what content his highness finds to be appropriate, or as has been hinted at, if this is more of a way of excluding those who can't afford it...I mean who can't write articulately.
Hawkmoon - Never underestimate another person's capacity for stupidity. Any time you think someone can't possibly be that dumb ... they'll prove you wrong.
Viking - The problem with the modern world is that there aren't really any predators eating stupid people.
I wonder if those papers would be subject to an FOIA request?
It would also be interesting to see how they handle non-English papers.
