Turn around time for Concealed Handgun Permit Application

JebM:
I realize there was no prescribed time for the background check, and therefore it could be however long they wanted it to be. Still, why did it take so little time in the beginning, and so long now? When it comes to background checks, a permit to purchase a handgun only takes five days plus mailing time. How can they justify it taking any longer for a CHP background check? They check virtually the same things, dont' they? Oh...it's gubmint...sorry...I forgot. :(

Working for the state I'll just tell you that every department is doing more with less to include NSP. The legislature puts additional requirements on state agencies (just like the feds do to the states) but may not include the necessary funding to support additional personnel to do the work. You say, ya, but it costs $100.00 so what does that money go to? Good question, but if you ask your governor, NSP, etc. to see if CCW fees go directly to support the permit program, you'll be surprised. I'll about guarantee there were no additional personnel assigned to the CCW permit process, just additional duties as assigned to civilian NSP employees.
On another note, I received my NE CCW permit today in only 28 days. Great job NSP!

I wouldn't know where to find it now, but there was a law passed once that basically made it so government could not charge more for a license or permit (to do anything) than was necessary to pay for the processing costs of the license/permit. It didn't specify that all money collected go directly for that purpose. It could conceivably go into the general fund which in turn would pay the people who did the processing. It would be interesting to know just exactly how many manhours it takes to process a CHP. I wouldn't think the actual time spent would be more than an hour or two for each. Sure, the total time from beginning to end might be longer (waiting for responses from various agencies, etc.) but the employee would be working on another permit or doing something else in the mean time.

Mine took 3 weeks from sending the application out to getting the permit in the mail
