Are you looking for other states that have discounted pricing for military? If that is the case, maybe someone has a list but I would think you will need to visit each state to check. There are some states out there that have cheaper standard application fees than the Texas discounted fee for military.jojo6714 wrote:I am in the US Navy and move around from time to time.

Not sure if there are any naval bases or air stations in GA but they are extremely military friendly in regards to their CCW. Don't quote me but if I remember right, you could conceal carry with just a valid, current Military ID. I opted for a permit at the time simply for reciprocity and it was extremely cheap, $37 for the probate court clerk (Chatham County) and $6 for fingerprints at the Sheriff's office. Permits are issued by the varying county probate courts and each sets their own fee.jojo6714 wrote:I am in the US Navy and move around from time to time. I am currently stationed in Maine.

Actually, I don't think any state has a fee that is cheaper than the $0 that Texas charges active military.RX8er wrote:Are you looking for other states that have discounted pricing for military?
