The application process for Handgun Carry HAS CHANGED!!  The Drivers License Service Centers no longer process the applicants.  It is now done online.  There will be a computer at the TSF class to start the application process, which generates a needed application number, but if you can complete the online application BEFORE the class, it will be a tremendous TIME SAVER.
