(3) (c), (d), (f), (g) 2. or 3., (k), (L), (m), (n), (o), or (r), the department shall immediately notify the sheriff who issued the license, and the sheriff shall revoke the license.

SB214-SSA1,23,3 2.

SB214-SSA1,23,24 (d) A person who has been issued a license under par. (a) may obtain a license under sub. (2) if he or she meets the qualifications specified under sub.
