The fees for these courses vary depending on the instructor. For your initial permit, you are required to take 8 hours of instruction on firearm safety and competency. You will get a certificate of completion when you take the course. You must take this certificate with you when you go to apply for your permit. The concealed firearm permit application requires you to provide identification information, including your full legal name and any other names you've used in the past. You also must provide your birthdate, Social Security number, gender, and a physical description of yourself. List your employer and occupation on your application along with contact information for your employer. You also must answer a series of questions regarding circumstances that impact your ability to have a permit. Answer these questions honestly. A background check will be performed and if it is determined that you lied on your application, you will not be eligible to get a concealed weapons permit. Do not sign your application. Wait until you get to the sheriff's office. You must sign under oath and a sheriff must witness your signature. You can submit your application at your county sheriff's department. As of 2019, the fee for a concealed weapons permit is $100.25.

A sheriff will take your fingerprints for your background check. The background check for a concealed weapons permit is more extensive than the background check to purchase firearms. It may take as long as 120 days for the sheriff's department to complete your background investigation. When the investigation is complete, you'll receive a letter in the mail with the results of the investigation. If your permit is approved, your official permit will be included with your letter. Keep this permit on you at all times while you are carrying a firearm. If your permit is denied, your notification will explain in detail the reason for the denial. There is no appeals process.
