My records /background is clean ....thanks

Answer
Cido,

Thanks for asking about this matter. After pondering your question, I recommend giving the officer this answer:

The Second Amendment to the US Constitution, grants me the right,to own a firearm.
I only want to carry for personal protection, with no criminal intent.
