We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

No Peezy, the Judgment makes no difference.
I was just pulling your leg. As noted early in this thread, I'm not a permit person:lol:

It's calendar days, keeping in mind that the date of filing is day zero and day one is the next day. Also that if day 45 falls on a Saturday, Sunday, legal (Virginia) holiday (not the same list as the U.S. uses), or another day on which the clerk's office is closed for some reason (in NoVa, that's the federal holidays), then the end-date is the next available business day on which the clerk's office is open.
Suggestion for those thinking of filing: make two complete duplicate originals of your application, and take both to the clerk's office in person. File one and get the clerk to "file-stamp" the other for your records. Sometimes they balk at that if you're not an attorney, but they're supposed to do it and if you get any flack, ask to speak to THE clerk (i.e, the elected official in charge of the office). That file-stamped copy will prove that you filed the document on a particular day, so if they're late in issuing your permit, you can use that to show you are authorized - you're supposed to go to the clerk's office to get a copy made with a notation on it, but I maintain that the file-stamped duplicate original is sufficient evidence if push comes to shove.
If you didn't do what I suggest when you filed, you can go back to the clerk's office and get a certified copy of your application for fifty cents a page plus two dollars for the certification. It's insurance.

The Clerk's office gives you a receipt when you hand over your $50 fee. It should specify what the $50 was received for. If not, get the person who gives you the receipt to write on the receipt what the monery was for, and to sign and date it.
One is none and two is one works for proofs of filing as well as for BUGs and other essential equipment.
But most importantly of all - make a file of your application and remember where you put it.
stay safe.

That's some good info, I wish I would have known that when I filed mine.
I made sure to keep my receipt from the Clerks office when I went and paid, for a just in case matter.
With that being said, I just received my CWP in the mail today, which ironically is the 45th day. Although, the CWP says it was issued on 8-26-13. So I probably could have called, and went to pick it up. But, doesn't really matter anymore.
Maybe he submitted on the old formHow did you get a CWP?

Ssssswwooooooooooshhhhhhhhh (sound going over head). I'm afraid that may pass over the understanding of the OP and others (who need to realize and heed what you were saying there).

Lol sorry I've heard called all kinds of things from people so some times I get confused myself. But We all know it CHP

We had a CWP designation (concealed weapons permit) up until about 1995 - could legally conceal more than just a handgun. Correctly, we have a CHP = concealed handgun permit. The old CWP law had a lot of bagged attached to it: was may issue, required personal interviews and reasons for requesting, required listing serial numbers of all that might be carried, finger prints etc.Lol sorry I've heard called all kinds of things from people so some times I get confused myself. But We all know it CHP
A permit is also referred to as a license (inaccurate in Va), P4P (perks for permit), CCP (concealed carry permit), carry card........
We don't need no steekin' permits - we need Constitutional Carry!
