    Have any of the recent applicants on this thread received a call about references being contacted or had them contacted? This was reported recently again in a different thread (as well as by someone on the previous page), just wanted to see if this is a new development in the process as they haven't been contacting references for the last year or so. Curious to see if this is actually a new wrinkle or a one off.

    I think the whole reference thing is stupid. 1, you have to have 2+ references. If you don’t you cannot carry a handgun???? 2. Now people know you have a permit to carry a gun. 3. It’s not like my/your friends are going to say, anything bad about me/you.

    It’s almost like MD is data mining on gun owners and their friends and family

    Why involve more people than the licensee and the licenser.
