What do you think of this article, Bapple?

I don't necessarily support the viewpoint. Just found it while researching Mississippi CCP fees.

I don't know if the entire thing is correct but it does seem like permits are unattainable to some by legislative design.

If it was about your income level, wouldn't they provide some sort of welfare for poorer people to get permits? Or wouldn't they charge more for people with higher income if it were based on something like taxes? This is where I think the baseline price is messed up.

I also wonder where the $100+ dollars I pay are going. Who is getting paid for my right to carry? It's basically as if someone else is making money off of me. But I can't complain about it to an authority figure or they will take away my "privilege." This is the problem I have with them charging a fee.

So to answer your question, I don't know if there are racists roots or anything in regards to the price but I don't agree with it at all.
