The Left Coast really, really, really hates the idea of Concealed Carry. How dare you not rely on the State, even for things that they cannot provide. Justice Department Sues California City Over 'Unconstitutional' $1,600 Gun Permit Fee - The Daily Hodl
The U.S. Justice Department has sued the City of San Jose and its police department for imposing what officials call an unconstitutional fee on residents seeking to carry firearms.
The fee reaches nearly $1,600 per license and stands as the highest in the nation, far above charges in cities such as New York, Washington D.C., Boston and Chicago, says the U.S. Department of Justice.
I just checked. In my county in Ohio, (I don't know if it varies by county or not) it is $67 to get a concealed carry license. $77 if you have lived in Ohio less than 5 years. Renewals are $50. That is if you choose to get a license. Ohio is a Constitutional Carry state, though there are good reasons to get a CCW.
The department highlights a key passage from Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon stating that all law-abiding Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms for self-defense and that this right is not a luxury reserved for a privileged few but a fundamental element of our republic.
I expect San Jose will fight this tooth and nail. Because Progressive politics, or something. (Hat tip to Keep and Bear Arms.)
