5. Application Fee
Renewal Information:

Change of Name or Address:
You need to notify the issuing sheriff of your change of address within thirty days after you move.
Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Permits:
Informing Law Enforcement of Carry:
Automobile carry:
You may carry concealed in an automobile for protection while traveling or for any other lawful purpose while lawfully engaged in hunting.
Places off-limits when carrying:
1. Any place prohibited by federal law (e.g. federal offices or courthouse)
2. Any property of public school grades kindergarten through 12, unless the firearm remains inside a container in a locked vehicle
3. Any public building that prohibits ALL weapons which posts guards and permanent metal detectors at all entrances and requires all entrants to surrender handguns to security personnel before entry
Alcohol and Drugs:

Deadly Force / Castle Doctrine:

Open Carry:
Unrestricted under state law; localities may regulate this aspect independently.
Are you suggesting that the movie theater there has guards and permanent metal detectors at all entrances and requires all entrants to surrender handguns to security personnel before entry? Nope.
So why wasn't anybody armed? Could it be because they were going to a MOVIE?
The failure of society here was allowing someone to take 90 deliveries in two months of ammunition to their address without anyone questioning it. He bought more than 15,000 rounds in all, and nobody takes an interest? Not one of those weapons is suitable for hunting animals, even if someone were so crude as to want to do that. These are all man-killers.
A simple alarm on the exit door would have prevented someone from propping it open long enough to put on their tac gear and grab their weapons and return. They have those here, not to prevent killers, but to keep our local high schoolers from letting dozens of their friends in for free. But it works.
