"Shall issue" in a nutshell: Instead of a person having to show why they want to carry, the state is required to show why they shouldn't, thus, the state "shall issue" a permit unless there is tangible, legal reason why they shouldn't. Runs along the lines of "innocent until proven guilty". This is the reverse of "may issue", as in the state "may issue" a permit if the person can show why they should be allowed a permit (guilty until proven innocent).
