How about reducing the fee from $140 to $70 or less? It would be a great way to increase the CHL holder numbers. It would also appeal to voters & politicians of the "lower taxes" platform.

What normally happens, especially at the federal level, when taxes are cut, fees are raised. Yes, lower cost would probably result in higher numbers of CHL. However, the state does not necessarilty consider CHL as a right so you must pay a fee for a service. The service is allowing you a license to exercise what we hold as a right.

And this illustrates exactly why we need to get the CHL fee lowered. Maybe we can raise the poll taxes to make up the difference.

Get these people to crawl back under their rocks and OC just might have a chance.

Charles, this is what I referred to.

Blaming the lack of OC in TX on the "in-your-face" types is like blaming the lack of gay marriage in TX on Elton John, RuPaul, and that Leslie person in Austin.

There are plenty of decent, polite gun owners who support OC. They're just not acknowledged by the press, the politicians, and the gun rights organizations. Pity....they have a lot to say.
