Gun Control Reform Activism

As we have seen in Ferguson and other communities, local police may be corrupt. A sheriff could easily refuse to issue licenses to minorities or gays because he is bigoted and use the "suitability" clause as his justification. It is better to either define conduct that will be considered "unsuitable" in the law, or have a board of permit examiners like Connecticut that can handle appeals and overturn a bad denial. Conn. had two such cases recently, one where the head official denied a woman a permit because he wanted her husband to resign from the town committee, and another where the police chief denied a permit based on political views. Both were overturned.
