(17,502 posts)I can write a shall issue law that would disqualify most of the CCW holders in New York City. Shall issue simply means objective criteria outlined in the statute, and the cops or judge does not have any arbitrary authority.
It can by simply be "Concealed carry permits shall be issued to only to individuals who meet the following criteria
score 25 on practical test
score 75 on written test
have an income less than $30K per year"
If NYC adopted this shall issue law, it would disqualify most if not all of its current CCW holders including the publisher of the NYT, Sean Hannity, Don Imus, Bill Cosby, Donald Trump, Howard Stern.
Of course, it still wouldn't be recognized in Wyoming because because NY permits are issued by the counties instead of a state agency, and NY doesn't have any actual standards.
