How long to wait for CCW permit?
bwarner:
Today is day 50,finally got to speak with Julie at the NSP,after playing phone tag for 2 days.My current status is,I've completed the first back ground check and am in line for the second check behind 100 other applicants.She said it could be another week to week and a half.WOW.
Interesting that we,if I get mine, as permit holders must follow all state statues relating to CCW,but the administrators of the permit process don't.What a deal.

NFOA board members et al. It appears we need to rattle the proverbial cage again. The law is the law and at a minimum a permit MUST be issued in 45 calender days (even if it must be rescinded later if you're found out to be a BG). Might I suggest those of you beyond the time ALLOWED, contact your State Senator. Yes, I know they are in session but as I watch NET 2, most of them are dozing off, not present or appear to be playing solitaire while The Cobra prattles on..... I would also contact the Gov. Last fall, this "heat" made a difference.

Pushing a rattlesnake into a corner, may not get the outcome we want.
If the law says 45 days, and we push the issue, they could start denying applicants, to free up their backlog, and tell us to reapply later, and pay the fees all over again.
Me, I will wait quietly. I am in no hurry, I waited years to apply, why push the snake into a corner?
I think we should start a raffle for the CCW permit that takes the longest to issue!

You have a good point, but it's also worth noting that there is nothing wrong with asking employees of the state to abide by the law. If the law changes, so be it. We can at least influence it through our legislators. I think it's important to keep the pressure on and keep them accountable. The way it's set up, as I understand it, is thay the MUST issue the permit within 45 days regardless of whether they have completed the investigation, with the option to rescind it later.
Allowing the state to arbitrarily disregard the law because it's inconvenient is giving them a pass. As citizens, we don't have that option. I don't want to cede that right to the state either.

Gary...to alleviate your concerns.....we confronted this issue last year and things got back in line i.e. we got the outcome we wanted. The legislature passed the law. It is what it is.
