Just to add, it should be turned around to "why are you restricting my rights rather than what is my reason for my wanting a LTC". My rights are as plain as day, what's not clear is the chief's rationale for restricting my rights. The law abiding citizen is immediately put on the defensive to explain his rights (reasons) that are as clear as the Bill Of Rights. What's never clear is why is the chief is restricting those rights. If my record is clean, and I want to exercise my second amendment rights, the only explanation I should need is the Constitution, yet we're being forced to give a reason for the rights that are granted to us as an American citizen. It's more like what right does the chief have to restrict my rights, and not the other way around.
