GUAM: Bill 296 Shall Issue Being Considered
There are several different links to this story. In essence Guam is considering Shall Issue and the Police Chief and the D.A. seem to approve of the idea. In case there some who don't what or where Guam is...
(" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guam
Guam is an organized, unincorporated territory of the United States in the western Pacific Ocean. It is one of five U.S. territories with an established civilian government. Guam is the largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands.")
Chief of Police & Assistant D.A. "testified in favor of the measure"

"Bill 296 would change language for concealed firearms licensing from "may" to shall." That means concealed firearm licenses shall be issued to an applicant who meets the various specifications. Currently the Guam Police Department chief of police approves or denies an application for such a license and only those who have a good enough reason to own a concealed firearms license may be permitted."
More info. According to the article, the police chief suggested training and safety requirements and renewals every three years. he would prefer concealed carry instead of open carry.

"Guam Chief of Police Fred Bordallo said he supports the intent of the bill but noted some changes that he felt were needed.
Bordallo proposed:
• Requiring concealed firearm licenses be renewed every three years; and
• Requiring firearm handling, safety and efficiency courses.
"Consideration of those amendments will enhance accountability and control mechanisms for the best interest of the community," Bordallo said."
In addition...there is a thread of this being discussed at the "Open Carry Forums"
