Rights and Responsibilities:
Your right to own, possess, and use firearms includes the responsibility to know how to safely and legally use them.

Note: Public interest for concealed handgun permits has surged in recent months.  Please be assured that we are diligently working to reduce fingerprint wait times; however, some applicants have been experiencing extended wait periods up to two hours long.  We appreciate your patience and understanding when waiting is necessary.  Our current average turnaround time for issuing permits is 10-12 weeks from date application is made.
