How do I obtain a purchase permit to buy a handgun?

There is no cost, but the form does need to be notarized which we will do for a $10 fee. You will need a valid picture ID. There is a written test you will need to take and an application that you will need to fill out. It usually takes about 15 minutes to complete the paperwork.

A purchase permit is valid for 10 days from the date of issue and must be turned in even if it is not used. If you have been convicted of a felony or have shown a propensity for violence or assaultive behavior, your permit application may be denied.
