n another note, state patrol is failing big time on getting my renewal out in a timely manner. Forty days and no permit.

Patrol is being allowed to ignore the State law as written. How about contacting the State Attorney General office and informing that dept?
Somehow, somewhere,  there is someone the Patrol will consider above them, and will inform the Patrol their legal obligation, and that their endless excuses of why they cant comply, should stop. "our printer was broken or out of ink", "we have no staff whatsoever to dedicate to these permit requests or renewals", "well will mail them out  as time allows" <WRONG!

I support law enforcement, but because Patrol office staff or others higher up, didnt want these permits to ever be issued in the first place, is no reason to ignore the requirements in the law as written.

Question, how is the requirement that permit holders be notified of permit expiration 90? days before the date, working? Anyone get  even that from the Patrol?

Channel 8 news reported that after the Gov. signs the bill, the law goes into effect 90 days after the legislature ends?

Well done NFOA and all who worked towards this. Very proud day!

Done deal, congrats Col. 

Careful being a law-abiding gun owner in your own home.
