I suggest you contact the local County Sheriff's Office for the correct answer for the place to go get a permit to carry in your particular area. You are normally required to take some classes and/or go through some hands on training in order to get a permit to 'concealed' carry. Some States are 'open carry' and don't require you to go get a permit to carry openly. Contact the local County Sheriff for area specific rules or regulations.

The sheriff is the top law enforcement officer in a county in a state of the U.S. A sheriff is to the county of a state what the police officer is to a city or municipality. While a policeman is sworn to uphold the law within the city limits, the authority of the sheriff extends throughout the county. The sheriff can enforce traffic laws, can respond to disputes or will show up to investigate the report of crimes anywhere within the county (but probably outside the city limits of towns that have their own police forces). He may serve court documents, can execute warrants or otherwise use the power of his office to arrest and detain a citizen for cause.The role of sheriff varies in different jurisdictions. In Massachusetts, for example, sheriffs are not law enforcement officers although they do have a very limited authority to enforce the law and have limited public safety roles. Sheriff's deputies escort prisoners and the sheriff's department is in charge of county jails within county limits. Sheriffs and their deputies serve and execute, within their counties, all precepts lawfully issued to them and all other process required by law to be served by an officer. Although county governments were abolished some time ago, sheriff's departments are organized by county and they are state employees.

A County "Sheriff" in most (all?) states is a State Constitutional Officer and an elective (as opposed to an appointive) position.The Sheriff (and his deputies) have the power to enforce BOTH the criminal AND the civil statutes of the state, whereas 'police' departments may only enforce criminal law.A Sheriff possess wide powers under the state constitution and is considered to be the the chief law enforcement officer of the entire county, regardless of whether the individual municipalities within the county have their own chiefs or not. His power exceeds and supersedes theirs when he wishes to exercise it.A "Deputy Sheriff" is simply the title/rank of those who the Sheriff chooses to "deputize" and who carry out the duties of the Sheriff's office, which in today's world are many and varied (e.g.: operation of the jails - court and judicial security - service of court papers - uniformed patrol - etc - etc). Deputies also can exercise their authority anywhere in their entire county and may take law enforcement action regardless of what municipality they may be in.
