Once you have passed the course, the instrcutor will give you a certificate which you will then bring to the Sheriffs Office.
The application process may take up to 45 days to complete in accordance to the statute. The permit will only be issued upon full compliance and completion of the statutory requirements. This process includes fingerprinting and a background check.
The fee for the application is $65.00 and is non-refundable by law. You can pay this fee by check or exact change.
There are many restrictions and definitions of gun law in other states.
