By "difficulty" I wasn't saying that each county had different procedural hoops to jump through, but that their issuing authority had different Good Cause/Justifiable Reason (or whatever term is for DE), discretionary standard. Thus, someone saying they need a CCW because they regularly take several semiautomatic rifles, shotguns and pistols along with hundreds of rounds of ammunition to the range may get issued a DE CCW because of that in one county, but not in another.
