Wait time for CPL/CCW poll

[JC5123]

Took 5 weeks on the dot to get my original. (Speed of Government  ) Only took 3 weeks to get my renewal. Even though I don't need it anymore. (Wyoming allows concealed carry without a permit now) I frequently travel to bordering states, and it's nice to not have to worry about changing my carry habits just because I crossed a juristictional boundry.

That's where Vermonter's get shafted, other "Constitutional carry" states make the permit optional, but Vermont never had any provision for permitting.
Other states can not reciprocate what doesn't exist, so Vermonter's can only carry in Vt.

I suppose it varies by county and sheriff as to how quick you get it here.  Mine took about 2-3 weeks for my MN permit.  My Utah permit took considerably longer, between 2 and 3 months. 

You are correct on the sheriff comment.  I am lucky to live out of the city limits and fall under the Sheriff's jurisdiction.  I have always gotten along well with out County Sheriffs.  I even have his cell number in my phone.  Many Sheriffs don't like doing the paperwork, and a couple hate carry permits, so they drag their feet.  Our local Chief of Police, and a very good friend of mine, does not like permits and hates to approve them, so he will put them on the "to do" stack and stall.

An interesting thing in Minnesota is that the fee, by law, is actual cost of background check with a maximum of $100, and the renewal is the same with a max of $75 (I think).  The strange thing is that everyone charges $100 & $75.  A few have tried to charge $100 for renewal, but they have been called on it by applicants - typically instructors.

My Utah permit took just under six weeks from the date I put it in the mail until I had the card in hand.

In PA it varies by County.  In my county I was told it would be mailed to me in 6-8 weeks and I received it in under 2.  Same thing for the renewal.

I can't remember how long the wait was initially but for my renewal I just went to the sheriffs office, they ran a PICS check, gave me my new permit and I was done in 5 minutes.

It varies by county and the sheriff's willingness to let folks have one. Mine took about 3 weeks start to  finish, renewal takes about 2 weeks due to mail.

Just got my CHANGE OF ADDRESS version of FID card and three pistol purchase permits. 5 weeks. At least this PD was friendly about it.

I live in Michigan and after the required course, I went the next day with certificates, was printed, picture taken and in about two weeks i was notified to come get my permit.

I think I clicked the wrong vote...but it took 59 days from time of the app. being sent.  In Louisiana it cost me just shy of $350.00.  But I had not been a resident for 15 years and an additional 50 bucks was needed to have an Alabama background check done.  I also had to order a divorce decree from Alabama.  That was another 50 bucks.  All in all it was worth it.  5 year permit and only 150 bucks to renew next time.
