Place of Employment Automatic Restriction:

CCW permits are not valid during the course and scope of employment or for employment purposes unless the Sheriff specifically approves the removal of the Automatic Restriction. If you would like the Sheriff to consider issuing a gun permit for employment purposes, you must provide proof of self-employment or a letter specifically authorizing you to be armed in the course and scope of employment. That letter must come from your employer and be signed by the authorizing agent. Failure to provide appropriate supporting documents will result in the automatic Employment restriction being imposed.
