Ours don't (VA).The application has a place to put reason or purpose
We're a SHALL ISSUE state. If you pass the criminal background checks you get a CCW. You don't need to give a reason.
Templar223, I'm not castigating the Sheriff but the road to hell...good intentions, all that. If the Sheriff wanted a friendly chat that's fine, but that should have absolutely no bearing on the permit. Better tactic, issue the permit and include an invitation for the new CCW holder to come in for a chat. No chance of the situation being misunderstood or abused as the CCW carrier already would have their permit.
Seems a lot of folks on this site like to go about looking to make mountains out of molehills while ignoring the real hills and mountains all around them on the horizon.
And some of us have had to fight tooth and nail to regain rights (or pull up stakes and move) after such "innocent" interactions set precedent and began the slide down the slippery slope. It's easier to take corrective action while it's a molehill, once it's a mountain you may not be ABLE to fix it.
