Reduced Cost for Hidden Firearm Carry Permits in a Virginia County
In a recent development, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors has voted to lower the fee for a five-year concealed pistol permit. The new fee will be $40, a decrease from the previous $50. The resolution, which passed in a split vote of 3-2, was amended by the chairman to $40. This change will affect Roanoke County citizens only, as the permits issued in Montgomery County and Bedford County are restricted to their respective residents. Montgomery County and Bedford County have also adopted a $40 fee for a five-year concealed pistol permit. However, the exact date when these changes took effect is not specified in the article. Bedford County has reduced their fee on a one-year trial basis, with the change taking effect from July 1, 2020. Interestingly, Bedford County has reduced their fee to $15, while other municipalities in the region, including Salem, Roanoke, and Franklin County, continue to charge the maximum $50 for a permit. It is worth noting that the $50 fee was the maximum allowed by the state of Virginia. The Roanoke County Sheriff's Office issues around 2,000 concealed pistol permits annually. The impact of the reduced fees on the number of permit applications in Montgomery County and Bedford County is not mentioned in the article. Initially, a resolution was introduced to lower the fee to $25. However, two dissenting board members believed that the fee should be lowered further. Despite this, the resolution was amended to $40, reflecting a compromise between the opposing views. The article does not mention any other changes in the concealed pistol permit fees in the region. It is a significant step for Roanoke County and a development that may influence other municipalities in the region in the future.
