I don't mind the fees being a little high if it ensures a quality program. If I remember right the renewal fee was original set to be the same as the initial fee, but is half - I believe $75. I think the program could work with $75 initial fees and $50 renewals. That would come out to $10 per year if extended to 5-years. I am all in favor of the extension if it does not affect my abilityto purchase a firearm. I do however, think the classroom portion is far too short and the test far too easy, both written and practical. I think 16-hours of classroom plus a practical for initially getting the license and 8-hours plus a practical to renew. I am just dreaming here, but I also think we should have a two level license system. The one we have and then one a tier higher that sidesteps all of the normally prohibited places. It would require very advanced training and a psychological profile and evaluation at the CHL holder’s expense - AND WOULD EXPEMPT YOU FROM SALES TAX ON ALL FIREARMS RELATED PURCHASES : )
