He said the temporary closure will not impact one of its busiest departments, the gun permitting program. Using a skeleton staff, the department will issue permits to carry concealed weapons Wednesday through Friday.

*But it will be by appointment only,* Albert said.

The permitting program will operate from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Residents seeking a permit must call the sheriff*s office at 724-830-3457 for an appointment.

Upon arrival at the courthouse, they will be escorted to the sheriff*s office by a deputy,* Albert said.
