liv2hnt460 i second what 7stdubberu just said , my brother is the county sheriff where i live , i asked him what there procedure for a permit applicant was, he said as long as your references come back good ( they are good people no issues ) and your clean to , he passes the info on to the judge for final approval , most people are not even interviewed by him (sheriff) or even the judge (unless there is a problem). they are notified to stop down to the court house and pick up there permit . now this is not to say your area is different but he didn't see why there would be a problem...
