Is this for concealed carry or a purchase permit? The picture they show is for purchase permits, and there is no way people could have taken the class already and applied... How dumb is this news station to not realize there is a different permit to buy a handgun than to carry a handgun...

Note that the Douglas county sheriff is not the issuing authority for CHPs. So I am completely baffled.
