AFTER finishing your KS CCH Training

After you complete a CCH course and receive a Certificate of Completion, you apply for a CCH license by taking the following to your local sheriff's office (or, in Riley County, where the offices of City Police and County Sheriff were combined many years ago, to the RCPD Law-Enforcement Center):

a copy of your Certificate of Completion
one recent 2-inch passport-style photo
($7.99 at WalGreens, $12.95 at FedEx (formerly Kinko's), both "plus tax")
a $110 cashier's check or money order made out to the Kansas State Attorney General
a $ 40 cashier's check or money order made out to your local sheriff's office/RCPD, and
a printed copy of the filled-out CCH-license application form you can find at http://www.accesskansas.org/app/conceal_carry/, or you can get a paper copy from your local sheriff/RCPD.

At your local sheriff's office/RCPD, you will be fingerprinted and photographed. If your record is "clean", in 30-90 days (it's been running about 45 days lately) you should receive a letter from the KSAG's office instructing you to visit a DMV (Department of Motor Vehicle) office where, after paying another $12, you will immediately receive a temporary paper license and then, a short time later, your permanent CCH license will come in the mail!

Be forewarned that the license-application form asks some rather-personal questions:

Your Social security number
Have you ever been
- Committed for drug abuse
- Adjudged to be a disabled person under the Kansas act ...
- Ordered to receive treatment for mental illness/alcohol...
- Dishonorably discharged from military service
- Convicted or placed on diversion for
  - A felonious act (as a child) or a felony (as an adult)
  - Two or more instances of D.U.I.
  - A domestic violence misdemeanor

and so on; answer truthfully or you'll be in a heap of trouble! (If you must answer YES to any of those questions, you probably should talk to a lawyer before spending any money taking a CCH class!)
