They have independent guys doing the qualifications. Im seein the same guy, as I did when I got my initial. Told me, just come to his house/range, and fire a few rounds. But..., there's always a catch...Costs $150.....:BangHead:
No requirement here it is easy. Meet the local sherrif fill out a application, he runs it in the NCIS database see if your a idiot and here it comes in the mail $12 later.
Life time carry permit here is 150 bucks, or 50 bucks every 4 years. Have to fill out application, mail it, get initial acceptance letter with finger print request, then go to local PD/SD, pay 75 to local sheriff's office for intital background check, send 75 to the state police for national background check and issuing. Can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months. Mine took 4 months in 2008 but that was before they allowed the application to be submitted online, and then get the instant initial acceptance letter.
I also just got my DoD concealed carry permit for military members on military bases. thats been a 3 month process
