The Sheriff's Office issues concealed handgun licenses for the
residents of Douglas County. Each new applicant fills out an application, is
fingerprinted, photographed and an extensive criminal, civil, and mental health background
check is conducted. Renewals go through the same procedure, except for the
fingerprints.
Applications are taken by
appointment only. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7:00 am to 4:30 pm in Room 210 of the Sheriff's Office.
