heres another good one![:'(] i just spent another hour online and figured everything out. the state will give you an assigned 9 digit lifetime conservation number. i was sent a re-newal rifle permit card in the mail and the number was on the card. if you didnt get a card i dont know what to tell you. guess what the system is getting even more of my money. it seems there is a 2$ fee plus a $1.80- shipping and handling fee. so now your rifle permit is $14.30. this is unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!![:@]
