>> Sorry, but I disagree. All I had to do was take a stupid class (which was actually waived for me), and I get my permit forever.

The situation is different here. There aren't any "forever" permits except for cops, who don't really have to demonstrate anything other than having been employed as a cop. We regular subjects have to take a class (I have taken a qualified class and there isn't much to it, like you say), and have to pay money to the government for the original and renewal every five years. That is the very defenition of infringement of a right.

Maybe I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, we have the shall issue status and few restrictions on places one may carry, but we are talking about something that is a right and to have any fees and restrictions at all placed on it implies something that is offensive to me. Haven't been to the Cato site lately but I bet they think so too.

I guess the point that I was making is that our BS class (I didn't even have to take one) is much less strict than what cops have to do to keep being cops.

5 years? Mine's good for 10.
