About a month ago I applied for my Iowa permit to carry weapons. I've been calling every Monday to see if the permit has been approved; nothing yet, but last week the nice lady I've been getting on the phone told me that the one person who does the background checks had surgery and has been off since the day before I submitted mine. Today she told me that she expected that person to be back soon and that I should keep checking.
Iowa law requires that a permit be issued or denied within 30 days of application. If not denied within 30 days, approval is automatic. Next Monday, my application will be more than 30 days old. I'm wondering if I should just be patient, since I know what's going on, or if I should go down there and politely insist on being issued my permit.
