B. When submitting an application for a temporary concealed handgun permit, the applicant shall:

(1) Make sworn application in person or electronically to the deputy secretary of public safety services of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections.

(3) Meet the qualifications for the issuance of a concealed handgun permit as provided for in R.S. 40:1379.3(C); however, an applicant for a temporary concealed handgun permit shall not be required to comply with the provisions of R.S. 40:1379.3(D) upon application.

(2) If the applicant for a temporary concealed handgun permit applies for a concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to the provisions of R.S. 40:1379.3, the twenty-five dollar fee paid shall be applied to the cost of a concealed handgun permit as provided for in R.S. 40:1379.3(H)(2) issued once the temporary concealed handgun permittee completes the requisite training pursuant to R.S. 40:1379.3(D).

D. The temporary concealed handgun permit:
