"Valid reason" is no longer an issue, not legal by SCOTUS.  If nothing on your record, it should sail thru.

Should be no issue now.  Self defense is good reason but actually you don’t need a reason. It’s a right.

The only thing I would do is answer the question of "Have you ever been denied a permit?" YES - see attached.

Then on a separate sheet of paper state the reason (space on the app too small to explain). And answer the rest of the question "State".

Because any false statements is a reason to deny you.

A pet peeve of mine on this site are people who come on and get help and then ?ghost ? us never to be heard from again.   We never get the results which should be added to the information we have in this site to help others.

If you have sought advice or help here, please follow through and share your experience.
