I conceal my gun everyday without a permit, I might get in trouble with the ladies if I did not, besides it makes it smaller with this cold weather.
:banana:Just teasing.
This is my rifle, this is my gun

Took eleven (11) business days from the time I applied at the sheriff's office till I was called and issued the license. Applied Jan. 28, 2013 , received Feb. 11, 2013.
Wow. Was this Forsyth County?
Wow. Was this Forsyth County?
the current class iam in session 1 was monday and part 2 was weds and today there is 5 sessions for the range time we had approx 75+ in the class
the classes are taught in raleigh.
Ok, I know Im only on 5 weeks of waiting for my permit but I know personally 2 other guys that turned their stuff in after me and has already received theirs in 3 weeks time/turn around. I looked on our "fine" [sarcasm] counties website (FORSYTH) and says they WILL NOT give you info over the phone concerning your application, you must wait for them call you. Really? WTH? I cant even call my local Sheriffs Dept on something for myself? BTW: My record is clean as a whistle...
but think of the folk from the multitude of classes calling at the same time, the sheriff's office time would only be spent on the fone instead of processing your CHP.
it would be especially difficult, i imagine trying to track down where the paperwork is in regard to mental health check back, medical back, etc.

ps: did you at least put in for a couple of ppps so you could at least buy something to sooth your hurt ego for being ignored by the sheriff
Personally I think the current system for processing is terrible. I don't know who's idea it was for making appointments simply to turn in paperwork, and get fingerprints. I see no reason applications could not be mailed in, with a fingerprint card mailed in by the instructor. When I got my permit a good number of years ago I only had to go down hand in my paperwork, and wait a few weeks to get called back in, I was fingerprinted the same day I received my permit. I got mine around 2000 but let it expire. Surely the sheriff's depts are making a LOT of money off of this, they should hire enough people to keep the waits reasonable. After all the less people they process the less money they make. Unless they are intentionally throttling people. IMO a county like Harnett does not have enough residents to justify 6 month waiting period even if every single resident applied.
I wish more people understood that they do not need the card to carry. CC is OK for those that feel they cannot OC, but why go unprotected for 6 months. I wish people would teach these counties a lesson and cut off their money source, and just OC. Maybe we need more instructors offering OC classes(not mandatory) to help people become comfortable with OC.
WE ALL could take some of the wait off by OCing, even if some have a permit. If we educate people that they can OC, and get training, it would meet both the needs of the instructors, as well as the populace.
Wabbit I checked Harnett's website and they will only accept phone calls, no more walk ins. Seems really really stupid to me.
Seems that the biggest delay they manufacture into the system is the delay for your "appointment" to come in and fill out the paperwork. Cabarrus County does the same, but once they had the paperwork, it went in about a month.
It has been 50 days since my appointment (paperwork submitted, finger prints, etc.) with Cabarrus. Called them and the only thing the lady could say was, "it takes 90 days". Wouldn't even attempt to look me up in the system or check anything. More or less told me to wait 90 days and then call back. The problem with doing business with any government agency is that you have no other options. It's not like you can take your business elsewhere.
IMO it is not worth the hassle and money, I wish more people would cut them off of the money train and OC. Our dependence on that stupid card will eventually result in us losing OC like many other states have.
Unless I'm mistaken, wasn't the law changed to require the permit to be issued within 45 days?
interestingly, NC Statute 14-415.15 does not delineate work days or calendar days.
another interest facet i just discovered...state law only states you have to be a resident in the state for 30 days...14-415.12(a)(1) and i believe one county in the western part of the state is where the sheriff requires 6+ months of residence?
