12/18/16 Took the CPL class @ NORGC. Cost $100 for members $125 non-members. This was a 7 hour class with range time the last hour. Told I needed 96 rounds, fired 40.

12/21/16 Picked up my certificate.

12/27/16 Went to the County Clerks office @ Fillmore to file the paper work. Cost $100. They are open from 8-5.

12/30/16 Went to the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office @ Fillmore for fingerprints. Cost $15. They only do fingerprints from 8-4, which is why I had to make a second trip.

1/19/17 My CPL became active.

1/23/17 I received my CPL in the mail.

Note: The only location in Ottawa County for optical fingerprints is Fillmore. Had I known they only take fingerprints until 4 I would have taken a half day and gotten it all done at once.
