There are two popular theories.

(1) In the current economic and political climate, more people are thinking about the need to defend themselves from a variety of two legged wolves. When they compare the cost of a drivers license with the cost of a concealed handgun license, they are shocked by the disparity. As they investigate more, they realize a class and fingerprints can double the OTD cost of their initial CHL. Now we're talking $250/CHL vs. $25/DL. If they investigate even more, they find out about states where the OTD cost of a CHL is closer to $100. Maybe even less. If they found this forum while they were investigating a Texas CHL, they might want to express their opinion.

(2) It's a vast right wing conspiracy to expose government inefficiency and waste.

I do agree that its an expensive thing to get a CHL and should be less expensive but unlike a drivers license there isn't a way to subsidise the CHL thru traffic tickets

Heck, what benefit does a LEO even get from a CHL? They can carry more places than the rest of us
