Title: How long is the handgun permit wait?
Post by: bk09 on September 20, 2011, 07:45:44 PM: Curious to see how long it takes people to get their handgun permit after submitting the form.

I've gotten all mine in about 20 minutes.

Keep in mind there has been a backlog of applications coupled with a shortage of help at the Lincoln NSP CID office. On top of this, CHP holders who got the first permits in 2007 are now up for renewal, so they are now going to be dealing with renewal apps as well

The wait totally depends on the Sheriffs Department...... Some (very few) will do it while you wait, most take a couple days to get it done

It took them about a half hour or more to do the renewal for mine as apparently if you have never been ticketed or arrested then they have no record of you existing.

Post by: Clint on September 29, 2011, 08:24:01 PM: Yep, fee is five bucks. I just went to my city police office to get mine done. Also I think there is a statute that says they have to get it done in a certain length of time, like 3 or 5 days? They were slow getting mine done, but I didn't really have a problem with it, was in no big hurry to buy a gun at the time. Good luck.
