It Shouldn't Cost You

Tennessee Governor Bill HASLAM (R-or course) signed a law to allow people renewing their “concealed carry permits” to get a “lifetime permit” for only $500.00. It's a small move in the right direction, but I ask you: why should an American citizen, who has the unalterable RIGHT to be armed, have to spend $500.00 to RETAIN that right? Who does ANY state government have the right to LICENSE what is recognized as an inalienable right by the Constitution of the United States of America? Why should we have to PAY to exercise a right that is ours under the Constitution? One state, Arizona, I believe (and several others), recognizes that, in that state you don't need ANY kind of a “permit” to be armed. Most states do, however, require you to get a permit to carry CONCEALED. But $500.00? That's a “bit much,” isn't it? (Guns)
