H.R. 21 -- http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?c113:1:./temp/~c113uCYSxW:e40051:

`(b) Requirements- In establishing a process to issue permits to carry concealed firearms under subsection (a), a State shall--
`(1) ensure that a local law enforcement agency participates in the process; and
`(2) at a minimum, require that an applicant for a permit to carry a concealed firearm in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce--
`(A) be a legal resident of the United States;
`(B) be not less than 21 years of age;
`(C) demonstrate good cause for requesting a concealed firearm permit;
`(D) demonstrate that the applicant is worthy of the public trust to carry a concealed firearm in public;
`(E) complete a firearm safety training course certified by the State; and
`(F) not have been convicted of a crime of violence.

And just WHO is going to decide  if my need for a  CCW is a "good cause", or that I am "worthy of public trust"?  Politicians?   Bureaucrats?     Neither of those terms are defined in the act, so we have our first appearance of a "law" that can be twisted to what ever the Left wants.
