As I have stated repeatedly, the rules changed for RENEWING licenses. They did not TAKE MY LICENSE away...they just made it almost impossible to re-up, so it expired on my birthday, since I did not re-apply. Previous to Rudy, all you had to do was send in the money and they sent you the new license. That's why so many licenses ended, since they made an already tough process even tougher. It was me and thousands like me who Rudy would not allow to re-up as we had for years.

If you want to vote for Rudy and you don't care much for gun rights (I know, I know, you don't carry yours anymore--yawn) please do. Just do not try and tell anyone here that he is NOT a gun grabber, because he is ALL of that.

Ah, so the rules changed and you failed to make yourself aware of it, and somehow that's Rudy's fault?

As a responsible gun owner and afficianado, it is your job to ensure that you are aware of the law and your requirements for complying with it, at all times. Rudy was not required to personally ensure that you were aware of the changes, that was YOUR job.

As for the complaint about the mail-in renewal, cry me a river. Convenience and gun-ownership should not mix; owning a weapon is a right, but one that comes with corrersponding responsibilities. Insisting that you be allowed to enjoy a right without having to uphold your responsibilities (like not knowing the law, not knowing the conditions under which your permit is issued and renewed, and expecting the process to conform to your personal definition of convenience) makes you sound like a democrat.
