Post by: Mike M. on January 21, 2011, 08:32:36 PM: Congrats on sending it in. This is about the same time of year I sent mine in. Was a nice early birthday present for me the last week in Feb. Hope yours comes a little sooner.

Post by: Cornhusker on January 24, 2011, 01:00:00 PM: I got mine in the spring of '08 and it took 43 days.

Post by: LazyAce on January 24, 2011, 05:59:48 PM: I sent mine in on Nov. 19 and got it on Dec. 24 . A friend of mine took her class after I did and sent hers in before me and got it back in 2 weeks. Just the luck of the draw.

Post by: skydve76 on February 08, 2011, 05:28:21 PM: did they cash your check right away?
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Dark Helmet on February 09, 2011, 04:45:32 PM: no idea... I only get around to checking checks every 3-4 months... almost everything I do is electronic...
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Dark Helmet on February 10, 2011, 06:12:33 PM: 21 days... still nada
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: skydve76 on February 10, 2011, 09:22:16 PM: Keep it updated, Im watching, I applied the weekend after you did. Where did you apply at?

I will expect mine to possiblyntake thebwhole 45 days as I had to answer one question yes due to its wording, but I left a note too with the app.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Dark Helmet on February 14, 2011, 05:04:12 PM: I applied in Lincoln... still nothing today.

I applied in Lincoln... still nothing today.

It took almost five weeks for my wife and I (we put in at the same time) here in Lincoln. Seems the wait varies quite a bit.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Dark Helmet on February 15, 2011, 09:30:11 PM: 25 days, still nothing... not that I can use it right now... I'm pretty coked-up on pain meds (wisdom teeth out this morning)...

but I did buy a new pistol yesterday!

Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: skydve76 on February 15, 2011, 10:21:18 PM: i had that same gun. fun to shoot. impossible to carry.

I like seeing if you ot your permit almost as much as checking the mailbox for mine. I applied one week after you so I assume Ill get my pemit one week later.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: altheman2 on February 15, 2011, 10:23:53 PM: i had those taken out too...sucks. Also got the same pistol you do only with a scope...call it my space gun. odd looking thing. Works good tho. wife shoots it better than i do
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Dark Helmet on February 16, 2011, 11:49:11 AM: oofta, gonna wander out to the mailbox... really hoping it shows up this week, I'd like to start carrying this weekend.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: skydve76 on February 16, 2011, 04:48:10 PM: oofta is right! I suppose a year from now Ill think this was a short wait.

Please let us know when you get it. In the meantime, what are you going to carry?
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Dark Helmet on February 16, 2011, 05:19:36 PM: HK P2000 SK V3 9mm in a Comp-Tac M-Tac...

Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: skydve76 on February 16, 2011, 05:27:10 PM: glock 26 and xd9 sub compact. I have the blackhawk secure paddle holsters for both, still in the market for a leather iwb holster.

One gun is mine, one is my wifes, not sure which one she wants yet.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Dark Helmet on February 16, 2011, 08:08:53 PM: comp-tac M-tac is the best holster on the market IMO... leather back, kydex keeps it light on the front... absolutely awesome.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: sparky on February 17, 2011, 08:13:03 AM: Make sure you check out www.tuckergunleather.com and their "answer" is by far the best, most comfortable inside the waistband hybrid holster. Ole Mr. Tucker was the one who started the whole hybrid holster and I have tried them all and this is by far the most comfortable. A little more expensive but worth it. He will leather line the inside of the kydex to help prevent the scratchin of the gun and also helps with retention. The back side is suede so it is nice and comfortable against the skin. Check it out. I own one for my XD sub compact and my EMP.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Mudinyeri on February 17, 2011, 11:37:20 AM: IIRC, mine took six weeks to the day from the time I submitted the application.

The M-Tac is a comfortable holster. The Kydex kept crushing on the one I had making re-holstering difficult and dangerous. I've since switched to CrossBreed and have been very happy.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Dark Helmet on February 17, 2011, 05:46:35 PM: PERMIT ARRIVED TODAY!!!!

Mudin, my m-tac hasn't had that problem at all, what gun was yours for?
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: skydve76 on February 17, 2011, 05:58:45 PM: That was 4 weeks exactly, correct? or minus 1 day.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Dark Helmet on February 17, 2011, 06:12:16 PM: minus a day... 27 even.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.

Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.

congrats!!! hows it feel?

I OC a lot while I'm hunting/hiking/camping/travelling, so it's not that different. just gotta get the holster better adjusted so the gun doesn't dig into my back when I slouch...
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: A-FIXER on February 18, 2011, 07:46:04 PM: Congrats DH, it will be one day (just wrong when you don't strap it on) so another comrade in arms...

OTF, that's funny. First time I've seen it.

I read another humorous list somewhere else about the other things you had to do while at the Walmart. Like bend over to get something off a bottom shelf and then reach up to a top shelf, just to test your method of carry and cover garment.

I suppose if your firearm is exposed or it falls out of the holster onto the floor, you fail. ;D

Fly

Post by: skydve76 on February 24, 2011, 05:00:17 PM: today is the 4 weeks minus 1 day that I applied for my permit, dh got his in this time frame. Not sure if presidents day held it up but I fear there may be an issue as I had to answer a question yes.

I guess they have 45 days so need to jump to any conclusions. Ive just waited 4 years for that 10 year mark to pass, dont need to be punished needlessly any more. Past 4 years several calls to the nsp, different answer everytime, so just waited it out.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: skydve76 on February 25, 2011, 02:36:58 PM: 4 week mark, nada. In all fairness I applied on a friday afternoon, so the mail was already done, so it may not of been processed until Monday. So maybe Monday is really my 4 week mark. Was Presidents day a business day for them?

Am I obsessing? :)
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Dark Helmet on February 26, 2011, 10:45:47 AM: yes, you are obsessing, and presidents day set you back a day.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: skydve76 on February 26, 2011, 01:36:16 PM: Im not that obsessive normally, Ive been waiting 4 years to apply due too uncertainty and lack of definite answers, lack of preemption, and sigh gotchas, all which has been fixed.

So this last month hurts the most.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: skydve76 on March 01, 2011, 03:09:17 PM: 30 Days down. No permit yet. :)
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: LazyAce on March 01, 2011, 04:54:22 PM: Any other time a month would just fly by but when you are waiting for something important time really slooows down. It took mine 36 days but I was sick and in the hospital during that time so it didn`t really matter how long it took. Just very happy when I finally got it.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Eagle1 on March 01, 2011, 06:57:06 PM: Sitting on bucket, elbows on knees, chin resting in hands. Damn it's been 6 wholes days and nothing yet. :(
Standing up, circling bucket, stop, looks down at bucket. Kicks stupid bucket, walking away mumbling something about having to wait another 21 days or more. :angry9:
Oh did I mention bucket was filled with wheel weights. :'(
Yes nurse, it happened at home, yes it was my wives fault. :-[
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: skydve76 on March 01, 2011, 07:46:01 PM: What makes is worse is Applied on the 28th, a friday, later in the day. They didn't process it until the 1st, skipping the weekend. Plus presidents day..

Should be 33 days. Laxy Ace, found when you said you applied, yours may of been 33 days as you fell on a friday, probably not processed until Monday.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: skydve76 on March 02, 2011, 01:38:57 PM: GOT IT. 30 Days EXACTLY if you take out president's day.

THAT HURT.

Congrats sky... If you thought that little wait was unbearable, for the sake of your sanity, I hope you never get bit by the NFA bug. ;)
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Randy on March 02, 2011, 05:15:43 PM: Glad you have received your permit.

Most of us had to wait two months plus to get our permits during the first two years of the NE Handgun Permit Act. Due to Legislative revisions to the act with NFOA leading the charge it is a much shorter time frame to apply and receive your CCW permit.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Eagle1 on March 15, 2011, 06:33:41 PM: Today is day #20. GOT IT! 8)
Thats right 20 days! ;D
Got the envelope and figured it had to be a hang-up or rejection letter.
Well off to Wally World.

I've got it bad...waiting for a stamp and waiting for my CHP at the same time. I'm wearing out the door on my mailbox from checking.

4 months??????? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh, great....... Sent in the app for my SBR just a couple weeks ago
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Ross Berck on March 16, 2011, 08:45:10 AM: I used to be 07/02 Sot holder and having waited on many NFA transfers over the years, Ive found that waiting for other things no longer bothers me. I was just about to cancel my 2002 order(with deposit)of a shrike order when I did one last google and found out they were delivering them to some of my aug 2002 brethren. I few phone calls later and I have a ups delivery from ares showing up on thursday(the invoice and manual)...thats a eight and a half year wait, 40 days is nothing... I just got my utah permit back yesterday, they charged my credit card on 1-27-11 and I got it yesterday 3-15-11...my nebraska permit took around 30days if I remember right....(i do realize that waiting for something that ALLOWS you to practice your Constitutional right is way more important than a belt fed upper,nfa etc....)

Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Flare on March 20, 2011, 08:57:51 AM: Just an FYI. If you plan on applying in Grand Island they require an appointment and only do it on Wednesdays. I called for an appointment on March 7th and the earliest appointment was March 30. I applied in Lincoln on Friday since I was heading there anyway. Now time to start on the Utah application process.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: skydve76 on March 20, 2011, 04:51:34 PM: BTW, my wife applied in Omaha on 3/2/2011. She had to wait in line. Further, they didn't cash the check until the 7th. I'm not sure if they just make bank runs every now and then or if this shows some type of backup. The admin person at the desk mentioned there was a sudden rush of CHP applications all the sudden.

When I applied in Feb, my check was cashed immediately.

Hoping she gets hers early April.
Title: Re: Clock Ticking on CHP Application.
Post by: Flare on March 21, 2011, 03:11:33 PM: The guy in Lincoln that did mine said they process them for the whole state there and some of the offices let them/ stack up before they send them in.
