Impressive, particularly when the number of people who need a license to carry is rapidly decreasing. Three new states adopted Constitutional Carry in 2019, and five more in 2021.

This had only a little to do with the pandemic, but rather the leftist attempt to take over the country.

I just renewed mine.

I can’t believe how easy it is now. Apply online and they mail it to you. No more forms to fill out at the sheriff’s office.

Just got my cc renewal in the mail today. Now I need to go down to the drivers license bureau to give them $18 for my card. Snort. If it wasn’t used to facilitate gun purchases, I’d forego the official BS. Btw, I live in KS

It’s $32 renewal for a five year license here in WA.

I get it for the same and so I can keep a loaded pistol in my truck...legally.

Plus the Permitless ones. A good nudge and TN will go Constitutional.
