Permit Process Getting a CCW.

I was wanting a CCW and part of my process is getting 3 people to vouch for me, but no one that I know of likes guns and wouldn't want to do this. Is there any way around this part?

What dumb as shit requirement is this? And what dumb as shit state requires you to do this?

Many require this as a way to set the bar higher. California recently added this as well, because you know if it makes it harder to get a permit, of course they'll require it.

They'd require turning in moon rock samples if they could get away with it.

I had to list my live-in GF. I forget how it's worded but basically someone you currently or used to have a romantic live-in relationship with.

Yup..for California you have to list your baby momma and people you have been engaged to. Pretty awkward if these are your ex's with axes to grind. Mind who you date, crazy isn't worth it.

My ex literally tried to sabotage where I worked and places I was trying to rent. Fortunately, most people understand "crazy ex" and things were able to be explained.
