I'd be much cheaper for the state if they just stopped regulating when where and how we bare arms and stuck to their intended purposes. Even if they could break even granting tracking and managing CHLs to the people for $1.00 it's still $100.00 ish for the class and 10 hours of someones time and that's more costly than just putting dinner on the table it's a large part of someones livelihood.Don't shoot, but maybe it's some other title and maybe you can get past that and give him a break. I do know he's talked on the phone to a lot of officials in other states. People who among other things, deal with firearms laws and such. If I think back, I can remember a couple of times I've talked with people on the phone and when I try to remember their title, I can't so I call him "city council guy" or something. Same difference! Not a big deal to me. I understood the point.
Point being, how can it be that another state can charge only $40 for the chl with no class required and Texas accepts it, (A resident Texan can even get one if you travel there to get it), while we pay what we pay and have to pay for the class and sit for 10 hours through a class that is a joke? Sorry about the long sentence. Probably could have found a better way to say it.
