The day for sending in my application is rapidly approaching, and I have one final question:

Where do I send the application copy to? Do I send it to my local Sherrif or do I send it to the head Sherrif's office for the county I live in? Does it even mater? Also, once I find out who to send it to, anyone know a good way to get exact information about them, ie shipping address and name?

If you live in a unincorporated area vs. within city limits (and I expect you do since you live on a farm) you would send it to the attention of THE Sheriff of the county in which you reside.

Just google your county and then look up the county government, departments, and there should be a listing for the Sheriff's dept. Then just look for their contact info for the main office. Send your notice there, to the attn: Sheriff XXX XXXX.

That's all I did up here in El Dorado county and had no problems.

I live in San Bernardino County, and I am fairly sure it is unincorporated. I found this:

www.co.san-bernardino.ca.us/sheriff/

So I would send my application to address in the lower right corner (sorry, won't let me cut/paste) to Sheriff Gary Penrod?

That would be correct.
