You don't and you can't. Not for absolutely, positively sure, anyway.
That's why people have to apply, and probably pass a preliminary background check.
Still, there are no guarantees in life, and there are still black markets galore where those who can't carry legally will still get what they want.
Overall, it's still a good law. Congratulations, Iceman!!
