The cost to get a concealed carry gun permit in Prince William County went down. But the amount of funding for the offices that process the applications is going up.
Members of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors in February negotiated a deal with the County's Sheriff Glen Hill to lower the cost of obtaining a concealed carry permit from $50 to $15. Hill agreed for drop his $35 portion of the license fee in exchange for getting more money for additional staffing in his department.
With the deal, Hill will get two new sheriff's deputies and a new patrol car in 2017 and 2018, respectively. The Prince William County Board of Supervisors agreed to fund the new positions if Hill agreed to the permit fee reduction -- something he didn't have to do as he is an elected official and is not bound to follow the direction of the Board of Supervisors, as the county's police chief is required to do.
