35. And some people don't understand English grammar, notice the quotation marks?

That implies that the test isn't something you really pass, but in that this hypothetical instance it would be being used inappropriately to determine something that is very much a pass fail (Whether someone gets a gun or not).

It'd be like someone saying they "passed" the SAT, because they got the score they needed for an event that was pass/fail to happen (getting into a certain college persay). With the added bonus of the MMPI not even remotely designed or normed to determine something like whether someone should be allowed to own a gun (I am not aware of any personality inventory with this stated purpose, probably because it isn't likely to work would very well because of the nature of personality inventories).

I've found a video to explain this grammatical concept

Now that the Illinois CCW ban is history, let's eliminate "may-issue" laws [View all] friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 OP

No! rdharma Jun 2013 #1

Care to elaborate? friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #3

No! rdharma Jun 2013 #6

How very eloquent... friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #7

Wasn't meant to be eloquent. Nutjob shown had a CCW in "shall issue" jurisdiction! nt rdharma Jun 2013 #8

So? Anecdote =/= data, and he didn't shoot anyone. friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #10

No. He hasn't shot anybody...... yet! rdharma Jun 2013 #14

Better alert the Department of Precrime, then friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #15

They've already done what the law allows. rdharma Jun 2013 #17

At least you're not advocating arresting all CCW holders... friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #19

"Like I said, it usually ends badly!" rl6214 Jun 2013 #47

Probably! nt rdharma Jun 2013 #63

"Probably"? rl6214 Jun 2013 #68

How is that photo supposed to convince anyone? S_B_Jackson Jun 2013 #60

Quit asking him hard questions! CokeMachine Jun 2013 #9

Apparently, we should be leaving the job of vetting permit holders... friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #11

No. Leave it to the local sheriffs. rdharma Jun 2013 #49

is that true in all states? gejohnston Jun 2013 #50

How about we remove the Sheriff's discretion when it comes to approving hack89 Jun 2013 #54

That would work. rdharma Jun 2013 #59

All you need is a system that accurately tracks who is convicted of a crime hack89 Jun 2013 #61

A restraining order doesn't mean that one has been convicted of a crime. rdharma Jun 2013 #62

So add restraining orders to the alerts that LEO gets. hack89 Jun 2013 #64

Restraining orders are already a disqualification for that. AtheistCrusader Jun 2013 #72

Exactly! It's not the issuing authority's job to revoke CCWs for restraining orders....... rdharma Jun 2013 #74

Well, sort of. AtheistCrusader Jun 2013 #75

Review it? rdharma Jun 2013 #80

Yes. AtheistCrusader Jun 2013 #82

All they can verify is that you had a CCW isssued for susch and such a a period. rdharma Jun 2013 #83

Precisely. AtheistCrusader Jun 2013 #85

If you do that in Illinois, it will reduce campaign contributions to sheriff re-election committees. AnotherMcIntosh Jun 2013 #101

In Texas CHL's are handled by the Texas Department of Public Safety. oneshooter Jun 2013 #67

Thats not the difference between Shall issue and may issue Travis_0004 Jun 2013 #78

I support "shall issue" concealed carry as it prevents discrimination. ... spin Jun 2013 #2

+1. Can't agree more friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #4

+ another. 'Shall-issue' with a comprehensive training requirement is my preference petronius Jun 2013 #5

In Florida you can go to a gun show and take a concealed weapons class. ... spin Jun 2013 #51

I can relate to the training gejohnston Jun 2013 #52

I feel that owning a firearm involves tremendous responsibility ... spin Jun 2013 #53

Yawn!! CokeMachine Jun 2013 #13

I noticed you left out all the ones that didn't ban the practice or contain racist language friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #16

Look at Arkansas! nt rdharma Jun 2013 #18

Yeah, and now that language is gone. Let's hear it for progress! friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #20

Notice the date on that change of language in Arkansas. rdharma Jun 2013 #22

So it would reactionary for them to return to "may issue" friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #23

No reason to do so! nt rdharma Jun 2013 #24

I personally feel that gun laws should be up to the voters in a state ... spin Jun 2013 #55

Florida banned open carry eight years later gejohnston Jun 2013 #21

You mentioned Florida.... spin Jun 2013 #45

No, let's make "may issue" the law nationwide. Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #25

no interstate commerace gejohnston Jun 2013 #26

It is a really easy to say something like "Rigorous Psychological Evaluation". Kurska Jun 2013 #27

Do to what system? Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #28

"Psych testing can be computerized and automated with very little personnel required." Kurska Jun 2013 #29

Couldn't agree more about how little the average person knows about healthcare. Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #32

he didn't say pass or fail gejohnston Jun 2013 #34

And some people don't understand English grammar, notice the quotation marks? Kurska Jun 2013 #35

there is a quote for that gejohnston Jun 2013 #31

You seem obsessed with the UK. Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #36

Because UK and Japan are held up as models of such gejohnston Jun 2013 #38

Of course I see the difference between Payne and Alex Jones Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #39

here is the trick gejohnston Jun 2013 #40

I also reject "the problem is the gun laws" Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #41

What "(L)ibertarian fantasies"? Most states already ARE "shall issue". friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #33

I'm aware that most states are "shall issue" Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #37

*Any* legislation might be termed as being "in favor of public safety". friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #58

I disagree Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #77

The NRA will tell you what *they* favor is "in the interest of public safety" friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #89

The NRA is a fascist organization. Who cares about their lies? Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #94

Same should be said for voting. rl6214 Jun 2013 #48

I've got news for you. Voting is a constitutional right. Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #79

What the hell is bearing arms? rl6214 Jun 2013 #87

Bearing arms means carrying a weapon of some kind. Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #88

Exactly rl6214 Jun 2013 #91

The law saying you can, does not mean that you must. Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #95

bear arms = confrontational jimmy the one Jun 2013 #96

Why whine to me about it? rl6214 Jun 2013 #98

There is already a universal, very effective, psych test. It is called - past behavior. GreenStormCloud Jun 2013 #66

What a crock! Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #81

Rights shouldn't be denied... ileus Jun 2013 #30

There is no right to carry a concealed weapon. Warren Stupidity Jun 2013 #44

Then there would be a right to openly carry one. friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #56

that would be off topic. Warren Stupidity Jun 2013 #76

There is in my state. AtheistCrusader Jun 2013 #73

I concur. Lizzie Poppet Jun 2013 #131
