The contents of license applications and registration requirements concerning weapons and firearms are governed by statute. Printed forms are generally available from the agencies that have the task of enforcing the statutes. In the case of federal requirements, forms are available from the regional office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The above form is based on a local form of application for a license to carry a concealed weapon. In most cases, the local form will be prescribed by a state authority. Application is commonly made to the chief of police of a city or to the sheriff of a county. Local statutes must be consulted to determine the specific requirements of the particular jurisdiction.
