Do you have Print Shop on your hard drive?

I have a Print Shop grid that is the correct size. Take a few digital pictures of yourself, fit them to the grid, print it out, and cut out the picture you prefer.

If you have Print Shop, send me your email address and I'll send you the grid as an attachment.

Walgreens (probably others as well) about $8 for "passport" photo, takes maybe 15 min.

Get it notarized before you go for fingerprints. I used my Bank.

My paperwork & fingerprints were all done in less than an hour.

They scanned my fingers on some contraption, no ink.

Most every link on here that deals with the MDPS is outdated, they updated their website a month or so ago. Site with link for app is http://www.dps.state.ms.us/firearms/firearms-permit-unit/individual-permits/ .
Firearms Permit Unit link is http://www.dps.state.ms.us/firearms/firearms-permit-unit/ .
Locations and Times link is http://www.dps.state.ms.us/firearms/firearms-permit-unit/permit-locations/ .

That application wasn't there the other week when I needed one. Luckily, I had it stored on my computer. I'm glad it's available on the site again.

Thanks for the links , senilking!
