You have a right to travel, that cant be taken away from you without due process. Its not in the constitution but it was in the Articles of the Federation. The founding fathers just didnt see a reason to include a right that seemed so basic.

I agree the fees are too high but disagree that I want to be around some of the people that would carry if there was no license requirement. I know a lot of people that even after taking the course and passing I am uncomfortable knowing their absent minded hot tempered @55 are acarying a loded weapon. Besides unrestricted carry would actually put greater restrictions on those of us that would like the ability to legally carry in other states, even unrestricted Alaska offers a license for the people that want to carry in the lower 48 while visiting or vacationing.
