Trivially easy:

Neither of these were done by licensed gun carriers.


Quite - as stated in another post I somehow managed to overlook the
context
of the subthread and for some reason assumed "licensed" meant "licensed
driver" which, in retrospect, was a dumb mistake.


Not dumb, just simple. Conceal licensed folks are usually accepted as the
good guys by law enforcement. You have to have a pretty clear record to
obtain one. When the law passed in my state, most of the guys where I worked
were all touting they would be the first to sign up. It was a big deal. We
were all passing around the phone number for ordering the applications forms
and talking about it daily. But when the information started arriving,
clearly 1 in 3 that intended to apply found they couldn't quailify. A friend
of my was sighed for assualt 3 years earlier, for simply shoving someone in
a bar. He didn't actally hit the guy. But it disquaified him.

Others were declined over simple protective orders from past divorces, a pot
bust many years earlier, etc. You truly have to qualify with you past
record.
