"Unfortunately, when I'm on my phone posting, my responses tend to be short and to the point."
Understandable.Not to belabour the point too much, but"Please don't do that" or even "not a good idea, more later" might have been better.
"Working 11 hour days SUCKS, believe you me, and as soon as I get home, getting back on a computer is a taxing situation mentally."
Yeah, I know. I work 6x10, but it usually ends up being 6x12. I do have the (dubious)advantage that I am at a computer for most of that time. Of course, they're shooting at us too, so sleep isn't always in copious supply, or entirely restful.
"My apologies for not following up with an explanation or an edit, it's just that I try to post when I can."
Again, understandable. Apology accepted and thanks again.
"As for the "flatly unconstitutional" thing that you were talking about, my reason for stating it so is because I do not believe that we should start exempting certain classes from people from paying fees."
Understood, but I'm not sure that makes it unconstitutional. It's not a protected class under any legislation, it's not something that is inherent or unchangable. It's behaviour not a characteristic.It doesn't seem to meet any test ofunconstitutionality that I am aware of.I welcome your thoughts on it.
"Personally, I think the idea of a CPL fee needs to go away, because in order to open carry in Washington in a car, you need a CPL."
I agree. That was the point of my idea- to create a wedge issue. We could lobby from multiple directions- the prohibition on open carry of a loadedpistol in a car is nonsensical on its own, seperatemerits. We could attack that at the same time.
