1) Expensive to get the required training and the permit.

I would agree that that is what stops a lot of the people I talk to, or at least makes them think twice.

Another point I have is that the State Patrol took in $736,800 in issuing these permits, then every five years they have an ongoing income of half of that, nearly $370,000 to reissue a permit to someone who has no criminal activity in that time span. Just something I've thought about. I plan on keeping my permit current, but I think it could be more affordable.

20,000 in the first year was the prediction

$150.00 in permit fees over 10 years is less than I pay to license my dog.

"$150.00 in permit fees over 10 years is less than I pay to license my dog."

Since when is it any of the gumint's business that you have a dog?  Oh right!  It is the gubmint's BUSINESS to take money from those who have it, and give it to those they favor.....  That IS the trade they are engaged in:  Trading scraps of red tape for our CASH./ rant off.....
