Every state in the Union has variations on policy and/or procedures. However every state requires a citizen seeking to acquire a handgun permit to submit to a criminal background check and a full set of fingerprints first. In addition, there is generally a brief waiting period in each state ranging between one week to three months from the date of application to lisence/issuance. Your local police department would be the right place to contact to initiate the sometimes involved and lengthy process. Additional information: Illinois and Wisconsin do not issue handgun permits at all, and in a few states, such as New Jersey, it's difficult, if not impossible, to actually get one.
