Or you can not waste you time and do what will actually result in the required change: Either make a campaign contribution to a person or persons capable or changing the law or have a lobby group do it for you at a similarly significant cost to you. Even if you manage to outbid the private contractors this year (which is highly unlikely), do you seriously think you can out bid the largest defense contractors year after year, while they are busy raking in $14.5 billion every year from the 37 other states participating?

That is the only "legal" way to change laws in the US.

Or we can call that battle what it is: lost. Spend your time and effort (and money) and go invest in those security contractors so that you will have a nest egg waiting if ever you are out of work as a result of losing you license for 2weeks+.

Or to put another way: "Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" is all conditional upon what matters to people with money and power and which methods they use to ensure they continue to have money and power.
