**Officials said they didn’t know of any case in which the current paper licenses had been faked.**
BUT, we are going to tighten the regulations and increase taxes (coming next) anyway.
Because criminals carry anyways, and “law-abiding” citizens go to the trouble to get a real one, the permits ARE kinda pointless in a way.
BTW, it was easy and painless to get mine in GA. Took me less than 10 minutes at the courthouse to file the paperwork and get digitally printed, and the license arrived in four or five days. And yes, you could produce a fake one in less than 5 minutes.
