 pistol in a vehicle or concealed on or about his person within this state for

 licensed. The license shall be in triplicate, in form to be prescribed by the
 Secretary of State, and shall bear the name, address, description and signature
 of the licensee and the reason given for desiring a license. The original
 thereof shall be delivered to the licensee, the duplicate shall, within seven
 days, be sent by registered or certified mail to the Director of Public Safety

 the same. The fee for issuing such license shall be $1.00 which shall be paid
 into the county treasury. The sheriff may revoke a license upon proof that the
 licensee is not a proper person to be licensed.
