You're assuming that they never go up in price. They could pass constitutional carry or politics in Nashville could change and 5 years from now they might be $100 a year. I just eliminated the gamble. By the way Oh Shoot, I'm not taking any financial advice from you since I listened to you before and bet all my money on Hillary.

I just went and renewed today. Bought a lifetime for my wife and myself. At age 66. Had to go in person as they wanted a new photo.

Don't discount the value of my time. I'm self employed. I try to Bill at a rate of no less than $75.00/hour for actual time worked.

Assume, ha. yep go ahead.  Certainly all kinds of things can and may happen.  Trumps budget passes or a portion of and the state of Tennessee could start a state income tax to make ends meet, pay for meals on wheels and such.  Now what ya gonna do?  To me and to me only it made no sense to spend the money for lifetime permit.  I have no intentions/plans of calling Tennessee home for a lifetime.  When I pickup my  lottery winnings my next stop is over at the Provost motor home facility for me one them customized monsters.  Me my wife and American express is gonna be motoring.

I'll even pour "Oh Shoot" a cup coffee or two fingers of fine Tennessee whiskey when we stop over in Nashville to see the daughter and grand kids.

Let's see I'll be 70 when I need to renew, break even at 102 or so, I'll have to think about it.

When you think about it, Think if you will feel like standing in line 45 minutes at the DMV to renew your permit when you are 95. LOL

I'll be more than happy to stand any where at all should I live to be that old.

At my age, every time I renew, I think it is probably a lifetime renewal.

Since none of us know when our expiration date is (no matter what age we are), I also consider everything a lifetime renewal.  But I'm not getting a lifetime HCP...if I wanted a lifetime commitment, I'd get married  

[gregintenn]

I'd give 2 grand to never set foot in a DMV again.

My wife and intend to get lifetime renewals week after next.

[CJDore]

My son and I just completed the class, went to DMV and got hand printed and are awaiting our lifetime permits. For $200 it is a virtual no brainer. Most of you probably blow more than that at Starbucks a year.

I thought the consensus was that you will still have to go at some point in the future to have a new picture taken...?

I'm sure that is the case. I said I would pay to not have to go back. I never meant to infer it was possible.

I got my lifetime back in February. I'm 33, so I hope I live long enough to come out ahead.

I have learned in the past that if you go to a Podunk town DMV, the wait and frustration isn't so bad.

I've only had to go to the one in Harriman so far, so maybe that's why, but OMG you folks have NO idea!

Coming from NY, the DMV down here is a downright PLEASURE to do business with!

The people speak ENGLISH! There's no urine on the floor! Processes are simple, fee's reasonable, paperwork is NOT written in 22 other languages, you don't feel like an international traveller in the waiting area, and you'll be spoken to politely and with respect!

Never once had that experience in NY, you've really got it great down here, trust me!

Mac is Sooooooooo right.

I just did- so you know constitutional carry will pass now

Renewed mine 3/24. I went with lifetime. At 47 I still see $200 a cost saver in the long run. Let's be honest, odds are the fee will go up at some point.

  What part of NY?  I never experienced anything like that.  In & out in no time.  They're definitely by the book but I didn't experience rudeness or urine on the floor.  (Then again, that might be normal in the lower Hudson valley and the 5 boroughs  ) 

FWIW Sevier County is terrific.  I made the fatal mistake of going to Straw Plains once.... never again 

[ReeferMac]

Lived outside Roch-cha-cha for 20-years. Any of the one's up there were so loaded w/ Puerto Rican's I felt like I was on a cruise...

I was in southern Adirondack mts. No urine on the floor, but plenty of rudnes, and stupid amounts of paper and very high fees.

The NYS CCW was a separate brand of pain and torment about 20 times as bad as NYS DMV, and 1 million times worse than TN CCW

I did it today. No problem on my end. My wife, however, also needed to renew her driver's license. They told her that her name on her social security card and her driver's license didn't match. They could override it one time, but she couldn't renew it again afterword.

She either can go to court somewhere and have the name changed on her driver's license, or go to the SSA office and get her name changed on her SS card.

We've been married for 22 years, and this has just now become a problem. Dealing with .gov is always an adventure!

I think post 9/11 They have started cracking down on that more but I could be wrong.

My dad had to legally change is name when he moved to TX a few years ago.

His drivers lincense said Bill but his birth certificate said Billy. Just like your wife, this hasn't been an issue for him his entire life.

LOL! And today it wasn't an issue. In 8 years, for some reason, it will be.

I agree with you on that point. I was saying it to future reference. Sorry if I was misleading in any way. I wonder how long it will stay that cost is why I took the option.

[gary_boom]

Went to Blountville today to get my lifetime renewal. Waited about 15 min got called up and was given a form to fill out. Waited about 45 min more and a lady came out and said the computer was down. I left it was lunch time.
