So WHY do you not have a carry permit? And, if you do have a permit, then what is the problem? The $40.00 renewal fee once every five years is less than a fifty round box of premium defense ammunition.
You know what the problem is with that type of thinking? It will not always be $40 and every 5 years. It can be changed, admin fees added, etc, then next time its every 2 years and the fees go to $50. My permit for the "privelege" of CCW is good for 2 years, renewal is $90.l not including an additional $150 for a 4 hour class. My intial permit with fees and classes not including a firearm and ammo was about $500. "Training" was a joke. Now there is a new law with no cap on how much the local sheriff can charge for intial or renewal. They just have to justify the cost in man hours. How many people will that price out carrying? If that happens in Texas god forbid, will you be able to afford it? Your neighbor? Single mom in a bad neighborhood? Your no big deal attitude I expect to hear where I live.
