A proposal to prevent Idahoans serving in the military from having to pay a $10 late fee for renewing their concealed weapons permit has been expanded. The Idaho Senate approved an amendment from Sen. John McGee, R-Caldwell, that would expand the exemption to include all active duty military personnel. The original legislation only applied to those stationed outside the U.S. The $10 late fee waiver would apply to anyone serving on active duty during the 90-day renewal period for an Idaho concealed weapons license. Concealed weapons permits in Idaho cost $20 and are good for five years. Renewing a permit costs $15.

    Now if that Drunk Driver/Felon (car theft) McGee would resign his seat in the senate, the GOP could be taken seriously. Right now, the party is a joke. I can’t believe you condone drunk driving. Disgusting, all of you McGee ass-kissers.
