The cost and price of safety

Ohio, Louisiana, and Michigan all offer state-sponsored motorcycle safety classes. Cost: $25, and they provide the motorcycle. They subsidize the substantial extra cost because it is in the public interest to promote motorcycle traffic safety.
Ohio requires a class to get your concealed weapon carry permit. Cost: $150. Wouldn’t you think that the state would have an interest in promoting gun safety? That’s ostensibly why they require the course, but why is it six times more expensive?
