So? It's not that much money in the grand scheme of things. And his renew cost for all that probably won't be nearly what he spent up front, either.
So few seem to get it. You do though.
Lots of people will bark "Just carry without a permit". I would venture to say those people don't have much to lose. I do.
Depending on the State, if I get arrested once for carrying without a Permit these are my prize options:
1) Spend time in Jail (And risk being attacked while incarcerated)
2) Lawyers fees will easily exceed $10k
3) Possibly have to Pay Bail
4) Possibly become a Prohibited Person.
5) If I become prohibited, I lose my FFL and Firearm Training Business
For those who say "why get permits for antigun states? Just avoid them".
We travel. We take vacations, We travel for business purposes. We take our kids places. We try to enjoy life. We leave our home and we leave our State. We love this Country and enjoy seeing it.
Sometimes we travel through States we have no intention of spending money or time in. We travel through those States not because we want to, we do it to avoid an unnecessarily long detour.
Being forced to jump through these hoops to exercise my rights is tyranny. Its 100% unconstitutional. Acquiring these permits is stay out of jail insurance, nothing more. It does not mean I endorse permits, fees, training, and hurdles. Every state should be permitless carry.
I'll continue to fight laws that restrict our 2A rights and do my very best to stay out of jail.
