Learning the laws regulating the use of firearms is a must for responsible gun ownership. Local regulations differ, and laws vary from state to state. It is the responsibility of you as a citizen to check with the jurisdiction where the firearm is to be used to make sure you are following each and every firearm regulation within that jurisdiction.
The Sheriff and his staff are required to follow strict State guidelines when performing the necessary background checks to issue a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP). Due to these requirements, acquiring appointments and processing times can take multiple weeks.
The application must be submitted to the Sheriff of the County (or City and County) in which the applicant resides or to the Sheriff of the County (or City and County) in which the applicant maintains a secondary residence or owns or leases real property used by the applicant in a business.
During the application process, you will be asked to schedule an appointment (for New applications only). Please note that you will be asked to pay now to reserve this appointment.
