The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is gearing up for our Firearms Familiarization Course for 2026.  The courses are always held on a Saturday and is FREE to Montgomery County citizens!  The morning classroom session teaches firearm safety and firearm laws.  The afternoon session allows those that choose to practice one-on-one practice time on our Firing Range under the instruction of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Range Master.  Class participants must be citizens of Montgomery County and must obtain a pistol permit prior to attending the course.  To apply for a pistol permit, visit our website at www.MontgomerySheriff.com or come by the Legal Services Division of the Sheriff’s Office located at 100 South Lawrence Street (Monday-Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm) or contact them direct at 832-1335.  Permits are issued normally within 15 minutes from the time you submit your permit application.
