OMG I Started A Fight

Damn, that really frosts my pumpkin; all those ant-gun state fees, classes, declared "assault" and weapon bans. They make more money with all of this than if they were pro-gun. Their focus is on income, not weapons.
Ooops... sorry, not on topic. Grrrrrrrr.

It's not the State making most of the money .

On my turf , an initial Permit is typically $500 ‐ ish all in , the State gets $125 directly , and $10 indirectly . The rest is spent on the private sector , to fulfill the mandated requirements .

The big expense is the 16 hr class . Both in the $ directly , and 2 days out of your life that otherwise could have been working , or family responsibilities , or doing volunteer , community , church , or whatever important you would otherwise be doing .

Mainstream "training " costs are $275 ‐ $400 . ( Done on a rational business . Occasionally done by 2A True Believers , essentisally Pro Bono . Still takes about $175 charge to break even .

The State Legislsture prioritizes making it difficult and expensive for Applicants , not maximizing revenues .

I imagine you’re talking about the lovely state of Illinois that is ruled by a king of the buffet line.

The 16 hour class I did had about 4 or 5 of us. The instructor said it was the smallest class he had in a while. Truthfully it was fun but also at the same time I’m happy it’s behind me. I will have to look at taking time off of work for the renewal process of 3 hours.

So you periodically must return for a refresher?

Yes we do have to reup every 5 years. If we move we have to put in a change of address . That costs $80.00 , $75 for the carry license and $5 for the FOID card.

The 5 year renewal will cost at least $50.00 for the training and another $150.00 for the carry license. Plus a small fee for letting us submit the application online. Oh , did I tell you there is no other way TO submit the app. 🤬
