I just submitted my renewal. The dumb part is the duplication of work.
- I download the PDF, fill in all my info, print it, sign it, and bring it with me to the police department.
- They take my info, type it all into the state system, print it out again, and have me sign that copy.
90% of the time it took to renew was for the officer to re-type everything back into the system.
How it should be:
- You log into a web portal on a computer or your phone. All your info is already pre-populated because they already know it. You make any changes or updates as needed and hit submit. The local PD receives it and looks it over. They call/email you if they have any questions, otherwise they just hit submit. The state checks what they need to check and send the renewed license. Also it's free.
Edit: I know it "should be" that we have natural rights and that the constitution protects those rights, therefore no license is necessary.
I like what you are saying but truthfully the longer I live on this planet the more inclined I am towards constitutional carry. No registration, no license, no nothing. Why keep the insanity train rolling on the tracks with a fancy web site?
