In the case of an exempt fireman, on the presentation to the clerk of the county in which such person may be or resides of such certificate of exemption, the clerk shall issue without cost to such exempt fireman a license certifying him to be entitled to the benefits of this article.

In the case a person who has been honorably discharged from the active military service of the United States, on the presentation to the clerk of the county in which such person resides of an application sworn to by said applicant together with a certificate of honorable discharge from the active military service of the United States, which application shall also set forth that the applicant has resided within the state for at least six months and in the county at least three months immediately preceding his application for license, the county clerk shall forward a copy of such application to the adjutant general of the State for permanent record. The adjutant general, upon receipt of such copy, shall notify the county clerk whether or not such applicant has theretofore been a licensee and whether or not such license has been canceled. If the applicant has not previously held a license, or if it has been more than one year since the cancellation of the license previously held by the applicant, the county clerk shall issue to the applicant a license entitling him to the benefits of this article; except that the clerk may deny the application where the provisions of P.L. 1968, c. 282 (C. 2A:168A-1 et seq.) or P.L.1974, c. 161 (C. 2A:168A-4 et seq.) are applicable.
