So How Long Did It Take For Your C&C Permit to Arrive?

It took my wife and I 6 weeks this past summer. I found a similar thread to this one on a Tennessee Gun Owners forum and found number to call in Nashville. I called and the lady said it had already been issued a week before and was in the mail. I found them sitting in my mailbox the next day. I did a little happy dance and strapped on to go carry at the Walmart. :cool:
 
I live in Metro Detroit (Oakland County) - submitted my application on 1/13, rec'd it today, 2/13 :D:D:D. Heard I would have more time to find a holster/carry system. Guess what I get to do tomorrow? Thanks for all the advice/tips on carrying. Still haven't decided bewteen the HK 45C & the Sig P220 Carry.
 
It took 10 days (law says they have up to 14). We only have a part time police deptartment, so that might have been why they didn't get it too me earlier
 
Oakland County Surprise

Well I was pleasantly surprised the other day. 33 days from submitting the paperwork to having it in my mailbox. They even beat their 6 week earliest response estimate by a good margin.
 
+1 with the Great Mahoo and other Pa. residents. Although it took three days technicaly speaking to re-up after my first permit was going to expire, because it was Friday afternoon and did not pick up the new permit until Monday. And our little Sheriff's Office in
Franklin Co. is always busy with permits among other things, but they could not be nicer or more helpful.
I cannot quote directly, but did look up the statute online some time ago. It is written very short and sweet in our State. Shall Issue means just that. SHALL ISSUE, no if's and's, or but's.as long as you pass the background check. I am not saying that training is a bad idea, in fact quite the opposite, I recieved a lot of training myself and am proud to say that when I R.O'd IPSC matches I was able to pass on what I had learned to others with the Match Directors blessing, in addition to being asked to give new shooters of friends and family training using the NRA guidelines. What I am saying is I do not like the government mandating it.
Kind of reminds me of paying poll taxes or taking reading tests to vote.
Did not mean to be so long winded.
 
My wife and I got ours in 2 hours. We had to wait for 90 minutes to be served because there were 5 other folks in line. Filled out the paper work, and the deputy did the background checks on the spot. We walked out with CC permits within 30 minutes of being met at the counter. Bucks County.

PA is a "shall issue" State and they take it seriously.

You managed to get a permit in the state of New York? How on earth did you manage that?

I thought that it was impossible??

It is the five borough area of NY that is impossible (or near impossible) to get. It also depends on the classification of license. A premise permit is time consuming and paper work intense, so is a target. What most people refer to as a "full carry" is impossible to get. Again this is speaking of the five borough area (NY City, AKA Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, AKA Kings County and Staten Island)

Upstate area's are far less restrictive, as is Long Island, which is divided into two Counties each having their own issuing authorities and separate rules. It is very complicated to understand unless you live here. If you do live here, it is not complicated to understand, just complicated to get licensure.

On Long Island, permits take around six months. Target permits are the most restrictive, however the only classifications that most people can get. Self protection (what people often refer to as "full carry permits") are reserved for special cases and are VERY difficult to get.
 
I just passed the 10 week mark down here in Florida. I called the hotline and I was told my application is is the system, it just has not been processed yet.

It took me about 2 weeks in PA–I could've had it the permit the same day if I visited the Sheriff in person–but I mailed my application in, and then went in to finalize my permit.

Pennsylvania lives up to the "Shall Issue" statute.
 
In Missouri it took 2 weeks for mine. A friend of mine took 5 weeks, the Sheriff said it was due to the FBI back ground check delaying the process.
 
Nice to see that PA does something right. Brought my paperwork in to Sheriff's office and walked out with permit 15 minutes later.

5 year license - how long does the license last in your other states?
 
Alabama - For my first license I knew the DA. The permit was in my hands in less than five minutes. Every renewal about the same.

My daughter just got her first permit (also AL). Submitted paperwork on a Thursday, picked up her permit the next day.

Roll Tide!:D
