Will I have an issue with 'MAY Issue'?

I decided to finally go forth with trying to obtain a Concealed Deadly Weapon permit. My beef, and has been for many others beore me, is even if you are a clean-cut law-abiding citizen who has nothing in the past to prevent getting the proper papers the AG can STILL turn you down, and give no reason as to why. If I spell my name differently than the AG's cousin, I could be denied. If the AG is in a bad mood, I could be denied. If the AG DOESN'T GET ANY, I could be denied.

Now do not get me wrong. If the AG has a hunch or gut-feeling that someone should be denied, good. Rather err or the side of caution. Not everyone should have access to a CDW.

As it stands, my advertisement in the newspaper stating me intentions will be early next week, and I have my appointment to get fingerprinted shortly after. I take all my info and mail it off and it could take anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months to find out if I did everything for nothing or not. No matter what one feels about gun ownership, you have to admit 'may issue' is wrong, and allows for favortism, racism, feminism and whatever other '-isms' one could conjur up.

Delaware politics are shady.. real shady.

I am not getting riled up- yet.
