back in April I filed for a concealed weapons permit with the Umatilla County Sheriff's office. It's my understanding that by law they have to issue or provide a written letter of denial within 45 days. Since Oregon is a shall issue state and I have a clean background and have the proper training they have to issue the permit. But it's been 91 days and I still have not received my permit. I called the office and they said they were backed up on a lot of permits and I'd have to be patient. I contacted the NRA and they told me to contact the attorney general's office, but since today is Friday July 3rd there was nobody there. I really get the feeling that Sheriff John Trumbo doesn't want law abiding civilians like myself to be armed.
Anyone else here have the same problem? Anyone know why it takes so long? It only takes 5 minuets to buy the gun in the first place, it should be no problem to whip out a permit within 45 days.
I guess I just need to vent my frustration because it feels like the people that should care don't.
