Published in the Chicago Daily Herald:

But why not charge $500 a year to get the permit. The person would have to take classes which could be at the same places current police train, go over the course of three months while a complete background check (at the applicant’s expense) is completed.

The application process could be completed at a police department and require a interview with a physiologist that once again is paid for by the applicant.

It could require classroom on the appropriate laws, range time for proficiency, safety testing and rigorous renewal procedures.

The type, caliber, capacity of the weapon could be limited. The ammunition could be limited and each round tagged. Maybe each person would be required to provide proof of a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy.

Some commenters said that the requirements were unreasonable, so someone posted this:

It’s so funny to listen to gun owners whine about having to pay a fee.

You can’t make this stuff up.
