It's less of a requirement/check out than here in IL, and that's just for
our FOID card, _not_ a ccw.  We are one of the few remaining states that 
do not have a CCW.  I pray this will change soon.  Let freedom ring: in 
no case has the issuance of CCW permits led to an increase in firearm 
injuries or fatalities.  It is opposed on the basis of fear, and fear 
stems from ignorance.
