then at their discretion they give you a license to own but not carry a gun...if you want a license to carry you have to prove that you are in danger...then you may get a carry license for 6 months...maybe...and after the 6 months pass you have to go to the police again and prove that you are still in danger...or that you need the gun for work and if you need it for work then you have to be in a bona fide security agency or a guard at some bona fide institution and MAYBE they will give you a carry license...

it is extremely hard to get shot in my country...3 mass shootings in the last 16 years total...the USA averages almost 1/day...
