•    is at least 21 years of age;
•    is not a felon or otherwise precluded from owning a firearm;
•    has demonstrated competence with a firearm by presenting a certificate or other documentation to the sheriff which shows that applicant successfully completed a course approved by the sheriff issuing the permit, or successfully completed a course in firearm safety offered by a federal, state or local law enforcement agency, community college, university or national organization that certifies instructors in firearm safety. Such a course must include instruction in the use of each firearm to which the application pertains.

An application must be completed and signed under oath by the applicant. The signature must be witnessed by an employee of the sheriff or notarized by a notary public. The application must include:
•    the name, address, place and date of birth, social security number, occupation and employer of the applicant, 
•    a complete set of fingerprints taken by the sheriff or his agent;
•    a frontal-view colored photograph taken by the sheriff or his agent;

•    the make, model and caliber of each authorized semiautomatic firearm to which the application pertains; permits for revolvers pertain to all revolvers owned and need not be listed separately.

Within 120 days after a complete application is submitted, the sheriff shall grant or deny the application. If the application is denied, the sheriff shall send the applicant written notification explaining the reasons for the denial. The applicant may seek judicial review of the denial by filing a petition in the district court for the county in which the applicant filed his application. A judicial review must be limited to a determination of whether the denial was arbitrary, capricious or otherwise characterized by an abuse of discretion. If the application is granted, the sheriff shall issue the permit. A permit is valid for 5 years. A non-refundable fee not to exceed $60.00 is charged.

Each permittee shall carry the permit, together with proper identification whenever the permittee is in actual possession of a concealed firearm. A permittee shall notify the sheriff who issued the permit in writing within 30 days if permanent address changes; or the permit is lost, stolen or destroyed. An application for the renewal of a permit must be completed and signed under oath by the applicant; contain a statement that the applicant is eligible to receive permit and must demonstrate competence with a firearm. The renewal fee is $25.00.

The sheriff shall deny or revoke a permit if he determines that the applicant or permittee;

•    has been judicially declared incompetent or insane,
•    has been voluntarily or involuntarily admitted to a mental health facility during the immediately preceding 5 years; 
•    has habitually used intoxicating liquor or a controlled substance to the extent that his normal faculties are impaired within the previous 5 years;

•    has been convicted of a crime involving domestic violence or stalking, or is currently subject to restraining order, injunction or other order for protection against domestic violence; and is currently on parole or probation. 
    The sheriff may deny an application or revoke a permit if he receives a sworn affidavit stating articulable facts based upon personal knowledge from any natural person who is at least 18 years of age that the applicant or permittee has or may have committed an offense or engaged in any other activity which would preclude the issuance of a permit to the applicant or require the revocation of a permit.

If the sheriff receives notification submitted by a court or law enforcement agency, that a permittee or an applicant for a permit has been charged with a crime involving the use or threatened use of force or violence, the sheriff shall revoke or suspend the permit or the processing of the application until the final disposition of the charges. If a permittee is acquitted of the charges, or if the charges are dropped, the sheriff shall restore the permit without imposing a fee.
