The law I cited above tells the entire story.  The is $35 and there is not even a bill in the legislature proposing to raise it.  I bet that Ed is correct here - the LEO is confused between the penalty and the cost of obtaining a permit.

Yeah, I cannot find anything about it. This is the same guy who told me that if I am open carrying, he can just say he is investigating me as a suspicious person and arrest me for interfering if I don't comply with his request for my permit.

So I am not real impressed with his knowledge of the law...

Actually, this is the ambiguity I was talking about with regard to "stop and ID" power of the police. I am reading through mountains of case law to determine whether there is truth in that statement. At first blush it feels wrong, but after doing some research, I can tell you that it is not a clear answer. I will keep you posted on my research.

I am certainly interested in that, but just the fact that police knowingly accept that they will have to skirt the law to deny law abiding citizens their rights is the issue. As I discussed with this LEO, seeing my permit means absolutely nothing. They are just harassing people, pure and simple.
