well it's been 6 weeks since i filled out my papers at the sheriff office, so in the mail today was a happy surprise. I have heard people on here saying it was like waiting for Christmas presents and finally getting to open it was the same feeling. I wasn't feeling quite like that waiting for it, before it got here, i'm feeling close to it waiting to get a chance to go pick it up. can't hardly wait till i go and get it, just thought i would let everyone know that is wondering on the time it takes. I got mine exactly 6 weeks from the time i filled out the papers at the sheriff's office. now to post some in the holster section, i bought a molded nylon holster that's made exactly for my service six but i don't believe it will last a very long time. gonna get a good one so i can buy once and be done. thanks everyone

it says i wait till the 16th before i get my license from the sheriff, is the 1 week wait normal?, how long till ya'll got yours after getting the paper in the mail? thanks

Normally KSP sends you the letter the same time they send your licenses to the sheriff. Just call your sheriff office and ask if your incense has arrived yet.

My lady just got hers recently, it took her 3.5 weeks from the day she dropped all the paper work off at the sheriff to the day she got the letter stating it was ready to be picked up. Hers also had a week window listed but she called the next day and it was there ready to be picked up!

I believe a New KY law passed this year gives KSP only 60 days to issue or deny all applications they receive. This is what is causing the speed up in processing. Most I have seen recently are within 45.

Agreed. I'll take a Killian's Irish Red, please.

Oh, to hell with that. Just stick it in your belt, cover it up and go out. You deserve it, if only for one time. You've waited long enough.

yep, with the saving of the money for the class and waiting on the permit it's been a good long wait. i went out tonight with it, carrying in a molded nylon pancake holster. i might not need a holster too fast the nylon did good. its shaped like my gun so it carried well, but my belt did sag some so a belt is got to be soon. thanks
