Hi everyone. I'm sure it's been asked/discussed before but I'm not having much luck with the search tonight. About how long did it take you guys to get your permits after you turned in your stuff at the NSP office? I'm so excited and just curious about how much longer I'll have to wait after I get everything done.
-
4-5 weeks

From Nebraska Revised Statute 69-2430:
http://uniweb.legislature.ne.gov/laws/statutes.php?statute=69-2430 (http://uniweb.legislature.ne.gov/laws/statutes.php?statute=69-2430)
(b) Beginning January 1, 2010, the permit to carry a concealed handgun shall be issued by the Nebraska State Patrol within forty-five days after the date an application for the permit has been made by the applicant if the applicant has complied with this section and has met all the requirements of section 69-2433.

Mine took exactly 30 days, my son applied at the same time I did, and his came a few days after mine.
Age before beauty I guess..

I think mine was almost exactly 30 days this spring.
-
36 days.

You guys probably think it's stupid, but I am SO excited about this. ;D
This is something I've wanted for a long time and I've just finished my fingerprints and photos at the NSP office here in Scottsbluff. Now I just have to sit and wait. I hate to wait for stuff, but it'll be worth it. Anyway, thanks for the info, guys. I appreciate it.
-
its better than waiting for Class 3 stuff...... that's even worse!

Tell me about it....I'm getting ready to send in another Form 1. I don't have any plans to build right now but the wait is so long I'm going to start it anyway.
-
Yup, I'm looking to send in my 3rd NFA item....
-
On a related note - I recently moved and in accordance with the law here I submitted my new application with the change of address and sent in my permit. I mailed it out in Omaha on a Monday and got my new one the following Tuesday. Thy say they'll turn these within 5 days and it looks like they're hitting their mark! My hats off to them - and I feel a whole lot safer being able to carry again. That was a long 8 days.
-
Bleh... 12 days so far. :( Still a while to go. Man, I hate waiting. I keep sitting here thinking "Wouldn't it be awesome if I went to the mailbox today and my permit was here?" :D
I know, that won't happen, but you have to admit, that would be cool.

lol! Ain't it the truth??

I just turned mine in for an address change yesterday. Hope its back in time for the auction. From what Mike said it should be.

Day 18. It's like waiting for Christmas when I was a kid. Waiting for Christmas as an adult is a whole different matter, as I'd prefer that it took longer. You get the point though, I'm sure. :D
-
I've spoken to the lady in Lincoln at the CID and my permit is finally in the status of "To be issued". I hope this means I'll be getting it soon. This is day 43 for me. It's been FOREVER. :) I'm so excited though.
-
I would imagine that all the renewals are slowing down the processing time for all the first time applicants. They get theirs done within 5 business days, so they get first priority.
-
Mine came today! Took a while, but it's here now and I'm excited.
-
49 days? Thats the longest I've seen here. They must really be backed up there at Lincoln CID.

Congrats!
So...where did you carry first?
what were your thoughts?

And what did you carry and what was it carried in? I like to know things like that.

I've been wearing my holster for a while now so I would be used to it. As soon as I got my permit, I went inside and holstered up and drove over to Wal-Mart as that's where I was headed when I stopped to check the mail. It was interesting because I felt VERY aware of the gun. Not like at the range where it's just "there" and you forget about it because everyone's doing it, etc. then I just started thinking about how awesome it is that I'm carrying my gun legally and that I'm now in an excellent position to protect my family and myself in the event that SHTF.

Currently I'm carrying a well-used, tried and true Glock 21 in a Blackhawck CQC Serpa holster. Love it, but I'm also in the market for a smaller rig and have been for several weeks. It's just not easy to find the right combo of size/caliber/price for me. I'm a big guy so the 21 conceals pretty easily under my clothes and when I'm wearing my hoodie jacket, you'd have to have x-ray vision to notice it. :)

You did the WalMart walk.

LOL! A couple of years ago on the USACC website, an informal survey revealed the majority of new permit holders did the "Wal-Mart Walk" for their first public carry experience. Looks like the 'tradition' is carrying on.
It does take a little while to get over the self-awareness of carrying but soon enough you'll feel naked without it.
-
I guess it's just an American thing, huh? Our very nature draws us to go test new things at Wal-Mart. If someone's going to notice something, it'll probably be at Wal-Mart... :D

I think it is the opposite. If there is any place where people do not notice the bizarre, WalMart would be the place. It is a good place to test the waters and get comfortable with carrying amongst people who (stereotyping here) may not be too concerned with yours or their appearance. :laugh:

That's probably more accurate. Already I've become far more accustomed to it. It's a good-sized piece to keep concealed comfortably, but as long as it keeps tightly pulled in, it's awesome.
-
been waiting since 11/11 they have until 12/26
-
The wife's took 8 weeks and mine took 8 weeks and 1 day. There was a lot more of a run on them then though. But come renewal time, it will probably take more time again because there will be a lot of them again.
-
You'll get your renewal within 5 business days because that is the statute.

I dono. Statute on a first-time is 45 days and I know of several people (myself and a couple just above in this thread) who didn't get theirs in the prescribed amount of time. Mine was actually 50 days. I'm not complaining much, I'm very happy to live somewhere where we're able to carry. Yes, I realize that constitutionally we should be allowed to do so regardless of where we live, but lets face it - that's not the way it is unfortunately. With the first mandatory renewal coming up, I can imagine that they'll be swamped so I can see the 5-day thing going straight out the window. It'll be interesting to hear about others' experiences with the renewals. I just got mine so I won't need to yet. Keep us posted.

If you don't get your permit in the statutorily prescribed time frame, I suggest calling the governor's office.

Remember, it is business days. With regards to renewal, everyone I know that has renewed, including myself has received in such legislated time frame. Also, your current permit is still active during the renewal process unless you let it expire prior to said renewal. Renew in the early four month period before expiration if you are really concerned.

been waiting since 11/11 they have until 12/26
got today so 42 days.. stoked tho!
-
11/18 until today ;D
i think they sped it up because they thought i didn't include my military orders with my application, so like a week after i submitted i got a call and i was told to email them another copy. Weird because I know I had to turn in a copy to even submit the application. Must've gotten lost somewhere in the process.

I think the rule states 45 calendar days.
When I first applied, I drove all the way to Lincoln from Omaha because there was a long line and the lady doing the fingerprints was leaving early that day. When I got to Lincoln CID, the lady there said I saved a few days by going to Lincoln....sure. ::)
So on day 44, I called them to check on the status because the next day was the 45th day, and was told it was just approved that morning and would go out with that days mail. So I got it on the 45th day. So according to the rules, they have to issue the permit, but if the record check reveals any disqualifying info, the permit can be canceled.
009 PERMIT ISSUANCE PROCESS
009.01 If the application for a permit to carry a concealed handgun is complete and all accompanying documentation is submitted, a permit will be issued to the applicant by the Nebraska State Patrol within forty-five (45) calendar days so long as the record check reveals no disqualifying information and applicant meets all of the requirements of the Act and these regulations. If the record check can not be completed within the forty-five (45) calendar day limitation, a permit will be issued but is subject to cancellation if information is received that disqualifies the applicant.

My original application in 2007 took 7 days (permit in hand). My renewal took two.
