That’s like saying a forcing people to get a license to drive only encourages people to drive without one. Most people follow the law especially if the fee is small. The concealed permit is $50 so it’s definitely not going to be higher than that. Renewal is $13. That’s not exactly breaking the bank. And if that is too high for some, maybe have your local John Brown Gun Club subsidize the cost for people who can’t afford it.
New ccw $50 + whatever your county charges. Total is usually over $100. That’s just to apply. You also have to pay for a class, which is usually around $200. Total for new ccw: about $300
Total for renewal: about $250
License for modern gun: unknown so far.
Regardless, this still gonna put the cost of lawful gun ownership out of reach for quite a few people. And for clarity’s sake, those people tend to not be white.
Starting in July, CCW training laws are changing, including requiring re-training for all renewals. That seems a bit different, most licenses in the US like car, ham radio, etc. don’t require re-training.
