My job required it and when I got my CCW permit in Florida it required it as well. Glad to have to go to the police department to get that done because I want to and not because I'm being forced to do it.
In my country everybody is (legal residents), it's an obligation when you become 18, and earlier if you apply some kind of identity documentation (DNI, Passport, ...)
I have gotten fingerprinted many times — before entering the military, to get security clearance, concealed weapons permits, when applying for jobs, etc.
ALL for meeting security clearance requirements of different facilities I was required to enter to perform my job.
Gun Permit...
Concealed Weapons
