No, no...meaning if the applicant has a mental illness (or warning signs), then the doctor can simply say he doesn't believe the applicant can be trusted with a firearm.

You keep coming back to this, and while provisions can be made to waive fees, I seriously want to know why you think a poor person would be willing to plop down a couple hundred bucks a on gun to begin with? Plus, I said a safe or "other means"...I didn't say a safe is absolutely required.

I don't object to the training, but if the state is going to require it, and it's expensive, it seems like it's leading to a class problem where certain classes of people can afford to have guns and other classes can't.
$50 is not expensive, and again, we can waive that fee if the applicant can show financial hardship.
