Is there any public info about how often that happens?
Anecdotally, I have heard about different town's police captains (or maybe town charters or something?) and whether they subscribe to a "shall issue" or "may issue" philosophy; like, whether the police just rubber stamp applications, or if they do actual vetting.
But that's also second-hand likely-misremembered info too, which is why I'm interested to learn more/be corrected.
