Concealed Weapon Permits

If you would like to obtain a concealed firearm permit, it is important that you know the rules before applying.
These rules are subject to change. Please visit the Wyoming Attorney General Concealed Weapons Permit web pages to find out what is required before submitting your application.
After you have reviewed the requirements, you must come to the Sheriff's Office in person to be fingerprinted, pay the fee, and submit the application.
When the application is issued (it usually takes about 90 days), we will contact you to pick it up at the office.

About Children

Children may visit an inmate on designated days only. There will be no exceptions. Children are considered to be 18 years or younger. A child must be accompanied by an adult in order to visit. Proof of guardianship must accompany the adult bringing the child for the visit.

A child must have proper identification in order to visit an inmate. This will include and is not limited to a birth certificate, a social security card, a current school identification card, a current driver's license. Be prepared to have as much identification for the child as possible. If proper identification is not available the visit will be denied.

The Platte County Detention Center will not tolerate disobedient children. Visits will immediately cease should the deputies notice unruly children in the reception area.
