When I moved I had to do the photo + fingerprint process.  I brought handguns and a shotgun with me.  I don't recall if they even cared about my CA firearms permit at the time (which is now useless along with the tear gas cert from the 80s! ).   What would a class action accomplish at this point?

I'll get back to ya since I started the idea....just on my hellphone now, so can't type or see that well.  Others may know my idea too.  It was basically to try to demonstrate that HPD was doing things that were not specifically required in the statuate (but are addressed/corrected in SB69).  It was more a way to show the registration office was doing things which were not required than anything else.  I thought if someone could file suit for them making out off state registrant (moving here) do fingerprints (and charge for them) it would simply demonstrate they were not following statute.  No one else seemed to like the idea, but Dr Cooper was also aware of the possibility at one of the hearings....possibility for suit.  No mention if it would do anything for our cause.  That was my idea, or if others had it too, coincidence

...and my idea was that somehow demonstrating the registration office didn't follow the existing rules may somehow be useful for CCW suits.   ....or even if someone filed suit and it was never follow through (or won) it may be useful to say "heck, they made folks get fingerprints (and pay) when it wasn't required" and somehow this may reinforce the argument that Chief has too much latitude (and no "written rules") for the arbitrary part of his denial for CCW based on "a person of good mental standing" or what ever that part of CCW background checks was.  I was influenced by Dr Cooper and Kerry's talk show thing where Dr Cooper said they have too much discretion on approving permits as someone with a bed wetting problem at early teen age was denied permit to aquire many years later.   I simply thought it may be useful to show they have too much latitude/arbitrary and how it could help CCW- not to recover $16.50 in fees, etc.   

OIC - man you guys must be good at "chess not checkers" game    Glad we're on the same side!
