Exactly, if I can afford to drop 450 on a Taurus Judge I can afford the permit.
Plus the cost can be more in line with a drivers license or less. A gun license, if required of everyone wishing to purchase a gun should be about ensuring guns are tracked and in the possession of law abiding citizens, not used as a revenue generator.
Also not out of the realm of possibility to have discounts for folks below a certain income level if this was a government licensing program. Hell, folks on food stamps pay $60 less for their medical marijuana certification than I do in my state.
