Handgun Permit Fee
wcr:
Omaha World Herald, Fri. Feb 3, 2017. Article, "Fivefold hike in handgun permit fee draws fire", page 1 and 2. Sounds like they are proposing hiking the fee from $5 to $25. They state the fees haven't risen with the cost. Interesting article. At the end of the article it stated, Earnie Chambers said, "He would be willing to raise the fee to $100". It is such a privilege to be able to pay for a right guaranteed by the 2A and our state constitution. Perhaps we could next start a fee for Freedom of Speech or religion.

That would be LB-81. I am not surprised that Chambers would support a what amounts to an unfair tax on people who would want to either protect themselves or participate in sport shooting. It would be particularly unfair to those who want to exercise their 2A rights but do not have a income to afford a permit to do so, much like the laws in place in Omaha and other Nebraska cities.
By the way, the NFOA has gone on record against LB81 as written.
AAllen:
Journal Star has reported this bill moved forward.

Glad I got mine last month.

Seems Like I'm Missing Something Here:
Don't we already pay substantial annual taxes to fund law enforcement organizations, including County Sheriffs, Deputies, Sheriff's Offices, Autos, Ammo, Office Supplies, Utilities, etc. and ad nauseum?
Didn't I hear recently on the radio that the Douglas County Sheriff's Office has collected million$ in seized illegal assets from perps and Bad Guys?
And we have to pay extra to exercise a right?
Sumthin' Rotten in Nebraska.
