A CCW permit is not issued indefinitely.  In general, the permit is valid for two years from the date of issue and must then be renewed.  Renewal of a CCW permit is not automatic.  A permit holder must reapply with the Sheriff’s Department in order for the permit to remain in effect.  The process of application for renewal of a CCW is identical to steps 1 through 6 of the initial application process with two exceptions:

1)       The applicant is required to undergo 4 hours of firearms training.

2)       The applicant will not be re-fingerprinted but they must pay a fee (detailed in the approval package) to the Department of Justice to keep the prints on file.

*** DISCLAIMER ***

No resident has the right to a permit, nor is the Sheriff required to renew a permit. By law, the Sheriff has the discretion to approve or deny CCW permit applications as well as revoke permits that have already been issued.

A permit may contain any reasonable restrictions or conditions on its use.  Restrictions or conditions (if any) are imposed at the sole discretion of the Sheriff.  Receipt by the Sheriff’s Department of a CCW permit application does not guarantee the issuance of a permit.
