Re: Desired CHL Reform

This is a great thread.

1. Parking lot bill. I don't believe this infringes upon the owners' property rights nearly as much as it infringes on the individual's RKBA & private property rights. Remember--the vehicle is an extension of the home.

2. Campus Carry. I would like to see this start with colleges/universities, but extend in later sessions to include pre-k through 12 schools (public and private).

3. Reduce the fees associated with obtaining a CHL. I haven't heard/read one single, reasonable argument why the fees are so high. In a sense, these fees are discriminatory, making obtaining a CHL a hardship on lower wage-earners.

4. Simplify the renewal process. Do people really need to get fingerprinted again? Do fingerprints change? As for the picture, I haven't taken a new driver's license picture since I was 22. And I can assure you that the new picture would look quite different.
Personally, I think that walking into a DPS office and renewing every five or ten years and paying a small fee (someone mentioned $25) would be acceptable.

Need to add more later. I'm being summoned by my 16-pound boss.

ETA now that the Baby New Year is in bed:

5. Take the 30.06 option away from hospitals & professional buildings. When most of us enter a hospital, we're usually doing it because we're required to do so at one level or another. (If we're a patient, we obviously can't back out there.. and it puts undue hardship on people caring for sick relatives.) This makes people vulnerable when walking through the parking garages.


I realize that Rome wasn't built in a day, but am glad that the TSRA is making a lot of progress. I'm glad to hear that we will be focusing on the first two this session. We can build on them in later sessions.
