Hey guys, first post looking for some feedback.

I'm in Worcester, Massachusetts trying to come up with a strategy to secure a license to carry (Class A License). The chief of police has a reputation for never issuing a Class A without the restriction of "just for sport and target". I deeply resent this and find it unacceptable.

I've been trying to come with a reason (to write on the application) as to why I need a license to carry a concealed handgun. This is what I've come up with:

"For all lawful purposes; to exercise my second amendment rights, and for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as stated in the Declaration Of Independence."

I'm trying to keep as simple as possible with the most compelling argument possible. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
