I found this @ good cause reading some gun laws.

[crazy]

I did a search and didnt find anything posted about this.

This bill would provide that the good cause requirement would be deemed met for any applicant who is a member of Congress, a statewide elected official, or a Member of the Legislature, for purposes of protection or self-defense, and that those persons would be required to comply with all other requirements for obtaining or renewing the license, as specified.

So if you are an elected douche, you are exempt from providing good cause. It's funny how how there are special rules for the special people.

The bill did not pass. See the 'Status' tab at the linked page.

BTW, think hard about how that change would have affected an 'equal protection' lawsuit.

When I read "The people do enact as follows", I thought it had passed. I'm still learning how to read this stuff.

I looked this guy up. Interesting character. Wiki has some nice things to say about him. Not so secret secret sexual harassment settlement. Grand jury eight-count felony indictment.
