I just got my permit today, The letter came in the mail and I ran to the Clerk's office...Directly to the office, didnt pass go and didnt get the $200...damn, I knew I forgot something.

I have KS and Utah can carry in 33 states

checkin in from Iowa. I do have one but luckily. Were still one of the few states that are not "shall issue". It is determined by the sheriffs here if they want to give them or not.

In Indiana we have a permit to carry our handguns with no form open or concealed.

I finally made my appointment with the local sheriff. I have to wait 2 weeks for my appointment and then 4-12 weeks for my permit. You'd think that for $152 they could afford to hire an extra person or two to help with the process.

You had to make an appointment down there? That's interesting. I just submitted my application in Larimer County. I actually called to make sure I didn't need an appointment. I was surprised at the fact that you just walk-in, submit your forms and money orders, they take your picture and fingerprints and away you go. Good luck.

Yeah, appts are required. According to the web site it will take about 20-30 minutes to do the "interview", fingerprinting and photo shoot.

Interview?

That's weird. Let me know how it goes. I'm curious to see what this "interview" is.

I had my appt today. I was about 15 minutes early, did not want to risk getting lost down there and missing my appt, was not an issue. within 2 minutes of walking in I was sitting with the lady who took my papers. The only questions she asked what what state I was born in and if the pic she took was acceptable. I was back in my car 1-2 minutes before my scheduled appt. She did say that I would have my permit via the mail in 4-5 weeks. Other than the cost it was as painless as possible. Once I get my permit I will post on the actual time frame.

4-5 weeks?!?!?!?!?!? I hope mine arrives that fast. The guy that took my picture and papers said it usually takes about 60 days. The normal timeframe is 60-90 days. I'll be interested to hear when it arrives. I submitted my application on the 21st. Good luck.

Here in CA I am lucky to be in LE or I probably wouldn't be able to get one the way things are going...

I applied for my Indiana license in Aug and received my lifetime PPL (Personal Protection License) in Sept.

I'm happy to have a lifetime license, the state wants to do away with lifetime and stick with 4 year licenses. Apparently someone is not happy with all of the renewal revenue they're losing on lifetime licenses.

Applied for mine in Chatham County, NC a couple weeks ago. Clerk told me it would be about 3-4 weeks! I'll believe it when I see it! Oddly enough, they didnt require a photo - must not have a picture on it!

No photo. Just a laminated card. But then again,since we have to carry an additional photo ID with our permits here, I guess it's a cost savings not to have to process and print a photo.

Have mine in TX, also a non-resident FL. Nice to be able to fight my way to a rifle.

Here is Missouri it only take a couple weeks from start to finish. My wife and I and three other friends took the CCW class on a Sunday. Took our papers to the sheriffs office on Monday. Paid the money orders and had our finger prints done. We were called 10 days later to pick up our approved papers and then headed straight to the DMV to get our separate photo I.D. permit showing CCW. So very painless except for the 8 hour class.

Does any of the admins know which thread has been running the longest? I started this thread well over a year ago and it is still going strong.

The Pics of New Members thread has been up since 04/06 and was still being added to as of last month; and I'm sure will get more photos. That may be a the winner of active threads because technically, any thread that wasn't closed is still running.

I just applied for mine a couple of weeks ago. They say it takes 30 days here. It was nothing but about $60, a physical description of myself and fingerprints. About 10 minutes and I was on my way. I feel kind of lame being so excited for it to come, but I can't wait. It's the best Christmas present to myself ever.

You've been itchin' for your permit for so long, I'm surprised you don't have the wait time down to the minute and second.

No kidding. I only had to graduate from college, move back to Chicago, and then move across the Country for this to become a possibility.
