CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMITS
The Madison County Sheriff’s office has had a major increase in requests for Concealed Weapon Permits. While we would like to ensure that every qualifying individual obtains a CWP in a reasonable time period, the following procedures could speed up the CWP process.
1)
State Law requires that any CWP holder provide proof of a firearms training and familiarity course. This would include a Hunter Education certificate, prior Law Enforcement and in many cases, prior military experience.
State Law requires that any CWP holder provide proof of a firearms training and familiarity course. This would include a Hunter Education certificate, prior Law Enforcement and in many cases, prior military experience. Currently a Hunters Education Course must be taken to obtain a hunting license, however this hasn’t always been the case. If you find that you do not have proof of firearms familiarity training, please contact the Sheriff’s Office Detention staff to obtain information on attending a one day course. Occasionally, a course is offered in Logan Montana, just outside of Three Forks.
As a side note, many people may have taken the course but can no longer find their certificate. If this is the case please contact Detention Officer Carmin Hill. It may be possible to obtain a duplicate.
2)AN APPOINTMENT IS REQUIRED. Once you have your application filled out, contact the Detention Staff to schedule an appointment. The Detention Staff will work to schedule a time that is convenient for you.

HOW TO AVOID BEING A SCAM VICTIM
DEAL LOCALLY WITH FOLKS YOU CAN MEET IN PERSON - follow this one simple rule and you will avoid 98% of scam attempts.
REMEMBER - If an offer appears to good to be true - it probably is.
NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM or any other wire service - anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer and thief.
FAKE CASHIER CHECKS & MONEY ORDERS ARE COMMON, and BANKS WILL CASH THEM AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE when the fake is discovered weeks later.
Don't accept payment from far away places - Don't send purchased items until a check or money order has been given 21 days in your bank in order to clear verification of funds.
NEVER GIVE OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION (bank account number, social security number, eBay/PayPal info, etc.)
AVOID DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING OR ESCROW SERVICES and know that ONLY A SCAMMER WILL "GUARANTEE" YOUR TRANSACTION
