The license costs $105
The class costs $125-$150 on average
The passport photo is $5-$15
Some sheriffs offices charge for fingerprints between $15-$45
In total you may have to spend $315 or so for a license.
Not everyone can afford $315.
There is also the issue of having to take the class, go get fingerprinted, have your photo taken, go to the clerks office to apply, and in some counties having to go to the clerks office to pick up your license, and if you have to go in front of the gun board having to do that to, some people can not fit that stuff all in to their schedules, and may have to take off time from work to do it.
Then their are those people who are applying for the license, but don't want to be defenseless while waiting for the county, which in some cases can take more that half a year.
You also have the people who are between 18, and 20 years old who are not old enough to get the license, which you need to be 21 for.
Then there are those who simply refuse to get a government permission slip for a right.
A criminal by the way is going to carry anyway despite what the law says.
+1 Above is spot on. It never ceases to amaze me that free citizens are charged to exercise a right covered by the US & MI constitutions. :banghead:
