    1. @Randian: With the exception of killing off the pistol purchase permit system, it gave us everything we wanted and more. It modified the pistol purchase permit system so that certain sheriffs couldn't arbitrarily put a limit on permits and it forces them to issue them within 14 days. Moreover, if a person is denied, they have to be given specific reasons backed by references to specific laws. I.e., the sheriff can't just say "I think you are trailer trash and you ain't gettin' a permit from me."
