I was denied a few years back for a similar reason. At my pow wow with the trooper he denied me because it wasn't "a continued personal threat."
I guess it was just my luck to be stuck up in Baltimore...
There's a city cop across the street from the library daily on a Segway that ushers the vagrants away. I actually add 10 minutes to my drive home each day to people watch on Main St.
While we're on the subject. How does one go about getting replacement copy? I was previously issued and it got lost in the shuffle of a divorce and moving my residence a few years ago.
