Oh yeah. Price the gun owners out of the market. The march continues.-----Michigan counties report varied gun permit costs

No mention of the cost to gun owners for permit renewal every few or years gun purchase fees.
And, sorta forgot, the "public" money saved because of all the crimes that never happened because criminals decided it just wasn't worth the risk to attack an armed citizen.
Michigan counties report varied gun permit costs | Crain's Detroit Business:
LANSING — The reported cost of concealed carry gun permits to Michigan taxpayers varies widely in each county, with a high of $214 per permit and a low near $3.
An analysis of county data shows estimated taxpayer costs are inconsistent across the state even though each Michigan gun carrier pays a flat $105 fee for a concealed permit, MLive.com reported. Muskegon County taxpayers pay nearly $26 to process each permit, while it costs $103 in neighboring Newaygo County, according to officials.
Michigan law requires counties to detail the cost of issuing the permits per person. There is little consistency based on the size of a county, and critics think the drastic differences make no sense.
Linda Talsma, Marquette County's clerk, isn't sure why the costs submitted by her office are listed as the lowest. She thinks the reported $3.24 cost isn't realistic.
....The state mandated charge of $105 for concealed pistol applications is split three ways, $26 for counties, $15 for sheriff's offices and $64 for the Michigan State Police.
