Purchasing Handguns Through Dealers

Note: On August 11, 2014, the Governor signed into law that citizens with a Concealed Carry Handgun Permit (CCH) can purchase handguns through dealers, using their CCH. It is no longer necessary for these citizens, who have already been approved to carry a concealed handgun to come to the Sheriff's Office to obtain a Handgun Purchase Permit.
