CCW wait time

[Abbey]

Checking back in here for anyone following. After 75 business days, I called into the CCW office and they were able to push my renewal through.

Good side: I finally got my renewal
Bad: Took 4 months and they used my original expiration date so I'm losing 3 months on this renewal cycle

:shrug:

Mailed mine 2-3 weeks ago. Nothing yet. In the past turn around was always quick for me on renewals, didnt think anything of it until I saw this post. I still have about a month left until it expires, will see if it shows before then.

Mine just showed up today, right at 2 months.

Mine showed up yesterday. 86 Days.

You guys realize you can print your own renewal notice and send it in, right???

One of my buddies had his (renewal) hung up for a bit. Called and asked WTF. The guy on the phone told him it was because of a DUI 15 years ago. Something that isn't taken into consideration. Said guy was like "huh", and put it through. He got it a couple days later.

Exactly what I do every time I renew.

One of the reasons I got a CCW originally(not the main reason) was the issues getting approved every time I bought something due to my common name. It took forever and always had to provide a social which I didnt like. My initial CCW permit took much longer then others at the time but following renewal years where always very quick.

Mine showed up today, around 55 days

I had a reminder on my calendar to renew 60 days in advance. I sent in my renewal exactly 60 days in advance. Permit arrived after 68 days, so I was permitless for 8 days.

I have put the next reminder on my calendar for 2026, 90 days in advance. I hope that will be sufficient.

Nope.
They won’t process it. Can’t submit more than 60 days out.

They are saying 75 to 90 days to process… that’s govt logic for you.

 

[smithers599]

OK, so can't process before 60 days, but they pretty much guarantee that your permit will lapse. Nice.

I had one for many years, dont buy from retail anylonger saw no need for renewal. Guns sales still very slim around here.

 

[Abbey]

Don't forget, they're saying 75 business days to process. I submitted mine ~50 calendar days before expiration and received the permit about 75 calendar days after it expired. So more like 125 total days. Even allowing a couple days on both sides for postal, that was a whole lot of wtf is taking so long?

Gotta ‘create’ more criminals…. Isn’t that their job?

 

[Brlux]

Just got mine 55 days from mailing it out.

While the wait time has been long I'm not sure what all the angst is considering having the permit does allow some other benefits but overall it's not Earth shattering without one.

Went out for dinner at a restaurant that serves alcohol. With a permit, I could eat there so long as I did not drink alcohol. Without a permit, even though I don't drink alcohol anyway, I was a criminal. I don't like being a criminal.
But, like most laws, so long as you don't get caught, no problem.

It seems our government is hit and miss with enforcement of the law. Immigration out of control with new policies, the ATF doesn't care about straw purchases, or those who've been denied due to NICS. So , if anything, equal protection now means just do what you want.

Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

Mailed renewal June 24th. Left message and email 3 weeks ago. I just received email that it was issued Oct 1st and it's now in the mail. Longest ever for me for a renewal.

 

[jrleen]

Still nothing. Just called to see what's up? This person said it was actually issued on Oct 2nd and mailed. Mailing address and contact data all good. They are supposed to be reissuing a replacement...free of charge. I think 3.5 months renewal is a bit excessive even if it's worst case timeline.

Crazy times we are in.

Sent mine in September 3rd. Nothin. they used to send a letter up front to let you know it was expiring and you should renew but didn't get it this time. Only looked because I was printing out the form for someone else and decided to look at mine. Mine expired on 10/26
