The right winger in me wants full constitutional carry for anyone who can pass the check to buy a firearm.

But the practical centrist in me knows that's either not a great idea and/or just not gonna happen.

One thing I don't like about the current system is the cost. I don't want to see individuals not be able to exercise their right because they can't afford the class or the fees. financial ability should not prohibit one from being allowed to carry a firearm should they legally obtain one.

I think an individual could obtain class materials to study online then a free online LTC test over the material followed by taking your test form to any local range and paying $20 to have someone qualify you. Done. Send in your papers. License fee reduced to $25 administrative fee, free if indigent. Not sure I think fingerprinting is even necessary, NICS check, done.
