REQUEST FOR PRE-LICENSE EXEMPTION

Pistol License Applicant:

If you wish to request consideration for a pre-license exemption, you must complete this form and return it to the License Division at the time you file your application for a handgun license.

Your request will be reviewed after an investigation is conducted to determine if you have a previous criminal record. A determination to approve or disapprove your request will be made at that time. Approval of your request will authorize you to shoot at an appropriate range while your application for a handgun license is under investigation.

This exemption terminates if your application for a license is denied or at any earlier time based on information which would result in the denial of your application.
