I just noticed that the birthday on my concealed weapons permit is wrong, it's listed as the 17th instead of the the 7th, should I call the sherrifs office and tell them or just let it go?

I'd get it corrected. Their typo should not invalidate your permit while they are issuing a new permit.

I'd call and have them correct it.
No reason for their problem to potentially cause you grief.
When it comes to Official Documents you don't want any errors,if an LEO happened to notice the date on your DL and CWP didn't match you may be taking a ride

Thanks guys, my CWP is just like a DL (printed on plastic card) I'm thinking all it will take is a trip the sherrifs office and have them print a new one out for me. Ill get it taken care of monday
Yup, I'd definitely have it corrected. Any legal documentation needs to be 100% accurate.

Get it corrected. As long as you didn't put the 17th on your initial paperwork, they shouldn't charge you for a replacement permit.

I agree that it should be taken care of with a corrected permit. I personally wouldn't want any errors on any official document. That's just asking for trouble.

I'll buck the trend... get your driver's license changed to match your CWP. Bam! Problem solved.
I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

Since your permit as indeed an official document, I think you're doing the right thing by getting it corrected. It wasn't your fault this happened, and it may not have caused any problems, but I wouldn't take the chance.
