to justify denying permits.

Guess that depends on what pretend state this takes place in, and that we can pretend there exists a preponderance of evidence John and Bill exhibited or engaged in behavior to suggest they create a risk to public safety.

"You have been found unsuitable because your wife died and there is evidence you are sad."
"You have been found unsuitable because you are divorced, in debt and have a big insurance policy."

Interesting. But let's not royally fuck up their chances to buy a gun just yet...

Let's pretend in the permit interview, John says yes of course he is sad - he misses his wife! So now he wants to get back into shooting because he knows returning to a good hobby, one in which he will share with his kids, is a great way to fill the void in his life. Golf is tough what with his hip. Fishing is fun too, but he remembers his military days, and wants to purchase a nice M1 and maybe a .45. A few of the guys in his senior development go to a local range once a week, and he wants to join them.

I guess we can pretend Bill says yeah the wife and he are separated and yes, sharing visitation with the kids is tough. He plans to sell off a few of the properties he is tied up in, and with the economy slowly picking up so is his business. Anyway, what is also cool is that his new girlfriend and her kid are real outdoors types. He can use a break so for vacation they are planning a few excursions, maybe 1 or 2 with his kids too - hiking, shooting range, pheasant hunting, plinking etc. Figures to not spend too much on guns just yet - maybe start with a Henry .22 lever-action, a Ruger .22 Mark III, and a Mossberg .20 gauge shotgun.
