Would you issue the permit to purchase? Why or why not?
Second scenario: Bill Smith applies. In the course of the background check you discover that Bill, a self employed contractor, is deeply in debt, on the verge of bankruptcy, separated from his wife and children and according to his wife has a large life insurance policy.
