You keep coming back to this, and while provisions can be made to waive fees, I seriously want to know why you think a poor person would be willing to plop down a couple hundred bucks a on gun to begin with? Plus, I said a safe or "other means"...I didn't say a safe is absolutely required.
$50 is not expensive, and again, we can waive that fee if the applicant can show financial hardship.
Now I have to show financial hardship, too? Just how many hoops are there before I can shoot a handgun down at the farm?
Why not just tell me I can't have one instead of playing these games?
If you think a US Government mandated safe storage system or area will be cheap, then I have a bridge to sell you. Cheap.
A used handgun or rifle would not be anywhere near a couple hundred bucks here in NC.
Well, it wouldn't have been a few months ago...
