Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick wants to reduce the licensing fees for concealed carry permits, which are currently some of the highest in the nation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a press release discussing additional legislative priorities<\/a>\u00a0for 2017, Lt. Gov. Patrick outlined the goal of “SB 16.”<\/p>\n

\u201cLicense To Carry Fee Reform \u2013 SB 16 will continue to support 2nd Amendment rights by making lawful carry more affordable for the average law abiding citizen. Texas currently has one of the highest License to Carry fees in the country, and we will fix that,\u201d it stated.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true. Lone Star State residents can expect to pay $140 <\/a>for their original application fee, assuming they don\u2019t meet any of the discount requirements (discounted fees exist for judicial officers, military personnel, veterans, senior citizens, among others).<\/p>\n

While the lieutenant governor didn’t explain exactly how much he would cut the fees by, it has to be a welcome sign for the\u00a0almost million or so concealed carry<\/a> permit holders in Texas (renewal fees are due every five years and are a whopping $70).<\/p>\n

Of course, what would be even better than a reduction in fees would be a Constitutional Carry bill that allows gun owners to carry openly or concealed without a permit! That\u2019s right no permit, no fees, no mandatory training! Just buy a gun and you\u2019re good to carry.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, State Rep. Jonathan Stickland filed HB 375<\/a>, which would make Texas the eleventh state<\/a> to approve Constitutional or permit-less carry.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time in Texas to restore our Second Amendment rights to their originally intended level,\u201d Stickland, R-Bedford, said in a statement. \u201cNo Texan should have to pay a fee or take a class to exercise their right to bear arms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, a similar bill failed to clear the Legislature, meanwhile, a campus carry bill for public universities and an open carry bill for licensed permit holders were recently enacted into law. So, maybe 2017 will be the year for Constitutional carry.<\/p>\n

However, at least one political analyst believes that the Second Amendment will take a back seat this coming year due to all the other hot-button issues that need to be addressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuch of the oxygen for contentious issues will be taken up with other social issues or addressing high profile policy failures,\u201d Brandon Rottinghaus, a political science professor at the University of Houston, told The Star-Telegram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecond amendment activists got a lot of attention and several wins last session, so given the short session and limited political bandwidth, we are not likely to see these issues back in a major way.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have to wait and see what happens. If Constitutional Carry once again falls by the wayside, hopefully, Lt. Gov. Patrick\u2019s quest to reduce licensing fees takes hold because charging someone to exercise a fundamental right is tantamount to infringement. Much in the same way we’ve outlawed a poll tax<\/a>, it\u2019s time to put a stop to taxing someone for simply bearing arms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
