So says the Left in California. Expensive Gun Control: San Jose Concealed Carry Permit Costs $1,443
An initial application for a concealed carry weapon permit in San Jose, California, costs $1,443, according to the city’s police department website.
For comparison, the cost of a concealed carry permit in Texas is $40 and in Arizona it is $60. The Indiana State Police website indicates there is zero cost for a permit in Indiana, apart from the $12.95 fee for fingerprinting.
Those poor people, in the bad part of town, don't deserve to be able to defend themselves from crime. That should be reserved for the wealthy. So says the Progressive Left.
And those same Progressives, who claim to be all in favor of helping the poor and downtrodden, don't see anything hypocritical about this state of affairs.
So how is this different from when states in the South were charging a tax to be able to vote, to keep the poor - and the blacks - from voting?
Think about it this way: The cost of a concealed carry firearm is approximately $500 to $700 and the cost of ammo for that firearm, including training time and carry ammo, will probably fall in the $200-$300 range. Add in the $1,443 for a concealed permit and San Jose residents are looking at roughly $2,500.
Progressives. Sticking it to the Poor at every chance they get.
Also California requires a 16 hour ccw class that goes between $175.00 to $550.00 depending on where you take it. Also on top of a huge 10.75% sales tax you also have an 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition. And they just upped the fee for the background check every time you buy ammo to $5.00. "Shall not be infringed." does not exist in CA.
