This is the election season when politicians will say anything to get more campaign cash. A particularly revolting example of legislating for dollars is coming from California. This proposed law teaches us a lot about what is wrong with our present politics, and what is wrong with our politicians. A California legislator wants to force gun owners to pay for government regulations. The legislation requires sheriffs and police chiefs charge for their expenses when they issue a concealed carry permit.
Think about that for a minute. Gun owners will pay the costs incurred by a government monopoly to issue a government mandated permission slip. |

| I was an elementary school teacher for years in Cali as well as a licensed conceal carrier, though I never carried at any public school. Upon retirement, I let my permit expire and had to reapply. Denied! Back in the late 90's it was $80 for the sheriffs to process the paper work. But what appalled me was they had to see any gun I might carry and kept a list of what guns legal carriers had. My best mid-life decision was to move out of that state. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
