Take the certificate of completion to the the Sheriff’s Office in the county you live in; after the application fee, appropriate forms and background checks, they will issue you the concealed carry permit. (I would call your local Sheriff’s Office to get a timeline for how long it will take.)

We will take regular breaks but will have a working lunch; please plan on bringing a lunch and also snacks with you. The CCH course is 8 actual hours of mandated instruction (this does not include any breaks we take) so to keep the time of instruction bearable we will have a working lunch.
