A bill to cut in half Arkansas's initial concealed carry application fee cleared its first hurdle Thursday by passing out the House Judiciary Committee.
It would cut the cost from $100 to $50 for those younger than 65, and $50 to $25 for those 65 or older.
The bill also reduces the yearly renewal fee from $35 to $25.
"We're reducing the fee on folks that have to pay to exercise their constitutional right for self-defense," says St. Rep. Jim Dotson (R- Bentonville). |

All concealed carry “permits” are licenses of a right (liberty). The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that such licenses are illegal. Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that citizens “can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right (liberty) with impunity.” |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
