This was illegal when the racists wanted to keep poor blacks from voting. My guess is that it is illegal today. SoCal City Jacks Up Concealed Carry Application Fee by 1000 Percent
As one X user pointed out in response to Moros's post, Glendale was "only" charging $100 for a concealed carry license a year ago. That's still about twice what I pay for my carry license in Virginia, but it's also almost 1,000 percent less than the $1078 Glendale is now forcing residents to cough up before they can exercise a fundamental civil right.
Say that again. Glendale is now charging $1,078 for new permits, and they are charging $828 to renew those permits.
There's already a legal challenge underway to the sky-high fees imposed in Santa Clara County, California, but it may be necessary to go after Glendale as well. And the Justice Department, which just entered into a settlement with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department over the lengthy delays in processing carry applications, should be very interested in what Glendale, Santa Clara County, and other jurisdictions are charging residents to exercise a right.
They will do blatantly illegal stuff to "get their way." It is the municipal version of 2-year-old throwing a tantrum in the grocery store.
