Because those that push for it 
discriminate.
Yesterday, after a three-year-long investigation, the federal government
 appointed a monitor to oversee the police department in city of Newark,
 New Jersey, after the U.S. Justice Department uncovered a “pattern and 
practice of unconstitutional policing” in recent years—including during 
the years that Chicago’s police superintendent Garry McCarthy served as 
that city’s top cop, from September, 2006 to May, 2011....
 Among the Justice Department’s findings:
- 
  “Approximately 75% of reports of pedestrian stops by NPD officers 
failed to articulate sufficient legal basis for the stop, despite the 
NPD policy requiring such justification.”
- 
  “The NPD stops black individuals at a greater rate than it stops white individuals.”
- 
  “In more than twenty percent of the NPD force incidents reviewed, the 
force as reported appeared unreasonable and thus in violation of the 
Constitution.”
- 
  “The Internal Affairs Unit (“IA”) sustained only one civilian 
complaint of excessive force out of hundreds received from 2007 through 
2012.”
And 'Streetlight' McCarthy has brought that same level of competence to the CPD which, along w/ Cook County and the state is facing hundreds of lawsuits for blocking CCW permits.

Let's call "may issue" laws for what they are. They are Jim Crow laws.
