Up here it has worked out so far if you turn in everything Monday,by the next Monday you get the call to stop by and pick up your Permit!

Both my wifes and mine worked that way as did my three cousins and also with each of the six other nurses my wife talked into taking the course so they would have something better than a whistle or can of spray with them.

Something to be said for Outstate/Up North or could it be that the county has only 13,850+ total population?

That is nice... other then they should mail it to you.

Do they offer to allow, or insist, that you pick up the permit? The law requires them to mail it.

Unless of course they personally deliver it

Yes they will mail it out to you but they give you a call ASAP when it hit's the clerks desk in charge of sending them out.
Reason being it's in your hand right after it's signed by the Sheriff!

Sheriff Mills, and Sheriff Johnson before him, were shall issue types prior to the MPPA and used their discretion wisely. Had the rest of the Sheriff's and Chiefs of Police around the state been as wise, the MPPA would never have been necessary.

One of the unintended consequences of the MPPA was that the number of permit holders actually dropped in Hubbard, as well as some other out-state counties, after the passage. The cost for training in addition to the increased permit fee added a financial burden that many of the lower income locals couldn't afford. Unfortunately, some of these folks are the ones that really need the protection.

The cost in Hubbard county should also be noted as it is $75 for the initial and the renewal permit. This is quite a bit less than most.

The area around the hospital was the sight of a murder not too long ago, as you probably know. Some poor old fellow killed for his pull tab winnings.

Not to mention that girl killed over in Green Acres.
The robbery at Ortons by the meth-head couple.
