The new policies streamline the process for obtaining concealed weapons permits. They require applicants to fill out application forms online instead of visiting the sheriff’s office. New applicants must still come to the sheriff’s office for an interview, but permit renewals will be handled completely online and will no longer require an in-person meeting.
Gun owners will also be able to identify five weapons on their concealed carry permit, up from three. That could reduce paperwork and staff time devoted to modifying permits.
