So, as was said, you don't have a problem with other people not obeying the law?

There is the spirit of the law, and their is the letter of the law. Next time you get pulled over for a tire touching the center line, or going three over the speed limit, which concept of the law do you want used on you?
I do not wish to turn this into a donnybrook. Takes two to argue, so good luck finding someone to argue with, wont be me. lol
Glad to see people are getting their cards in a timely manor. Seems like the state is performing inside the letter of the law for most everyone, and the spirit of the law as well.

I applied for my renewal today at the Omaha NSP location. The kind lady there said for new applicants to expect to wait 7-10 weeks for your CCW permit. :o :(
She said 7-10 days for my renewal... 8)

Gary, you claim to not want to argue, but then present an argument to continue to bolster your position that you don't care how long it takes. This is a discussion board and it's a place where people discuss issues. Why is that a problem for you. I don't think anyone here fails to grasp the fact that you don't care how long it takes for you to get your CHP. That's fine, but the question isn't whether you care, it's whether you understand the broader issue in play.
Your own argument can be used either way. For example, suppose you get pulled over by the cops for a violation of the letter of the law vs just the spirit. Does the ticket cost you any less money? Does it change the fact that you were in violation? Clearly no.
In this case, I would assert that the NHP is in violation of both the spirit and letter of the law with respect to exceeding the statutory deadline for issuance. Here's why (CAPS FOR EMPHASIS)
THE LAW HAS A PROVISION THAT SAYS THE STATE MUST ISSUE THE PERMIT IF THE BACKGROUND CHECK CAN'T BE COMPLETED WITHIN THE 45 DAY WINDOW.
I'll say it again another way, the law specifically states that the state will issue the permit and revoke it later rather than delay it beyond the 45 day deadline.
The question isn't whether you are worried about it, the question is why you seem so unconcerned about the state violating your rights under the law? It's not about the permit, it's about the state disregarding the rules set up by the legislature. Do you see that? Why are you okay with that?

Is there something about "discussion board" that you don't get? I'm just wondering if you understand that the law has a specific provision to prevent the state from exceeding the deadline to protect the rights of the citizens. Do you not get that or do you not care?
