OK, I'm going to pick up mine and the wife's CCW licenses tomorrow (89 days after application :aargh4: ).
Thinking about it, we have $200 tied up in training, $300 in CCW permit fees, plus our guns, holsters etc. So say $750 per person just to protect yourself.
What about the guy who lives in Bessemer or on the east side in a $69K house (bad parts of our town) and who works at Burger King? Not a stereotype either, my son lived in Bessemer (with three of my grandchildren) and worked at Pizza Hut while going through college
The guy who NEEDS the CCW is SOL.
Seems the system is working against the citizens who really need the protection. The sheriff's fees went up immediately after Shall Issue passed, and the 90 day limit is pushed to the limit.
I don't begrudge the training though. $100 well spent. Still, seems like we are leaving the ones who need it the most far behind.
