My buddy is at about 5 months without his permit (Wayne County). He went to the Sherrif's dept. the other day and they apologized and said they would find out what was going on and he should have his license very soon (his wife turned her's in about two weeks after him and she hasn't receivedit either).

My question is they are supposed to issue your license or a denial in 45 days, what if they don't? What recourse does a person have when the local government is not following the rules?

Well, I believe the 45 days comes AFTER your fingerprint results are returned. Not that it should take that long, mine took just a few weeks in Saginaw County, but my dad waited for a few months for his in Tuscola County.

MCL § 28.425b(10) and (14):
(10) The fingerprints shall be taken, under subsection (9), on forms and in a manner prescribed by the department of state police. The fingerprints shall be immediately forwarded to the department of state police for comparison with fingerprints already on file with the department of state police. The department of state police shall forward the fingerprints to the federal bureau of investigation. Within 10 days after receiving a report of the fingerprints from the federal bureau of investigation, the department of state police shall provide a copy to the submitting sheriff's department or local police agency as appropriate and the clerk of the appropriate concealed weapon licensing board. Except as provided in subsection (14), the concealed weapon licensing board shall not issue a concealed pistol license until it receives the fingerprint comparison report prescribed in this subsection. The concealed weapon licensing board may deny a license if an individual's fingerprints are not classifiable by the federal bureau of investigation.

[align=center]* * *[/align](14) If the fingerprint comparison report is not received by the concealed weapon licensing board within 60 days after the fingerprint report is forwarded to the department of state police by the federal bureau of investigation, the concealed weapon licensing board shall issue a temporary license to carry a concealed pistol to the applicant if the applicant is otherwise qualified for a license. A temporary license issued under this section is valid for 180 days or until the concealed weapon licensing board receives the fingerprint comparison report provided under subsection (10) and issues or denies issuance of a license to carry a concealed pistol as otherwise provided under this act. Upon issuance or the denial of issuance of the license to carry a concealed pistol to an applicant who received a temporary license under this section, the applicant shall immediately surrender the temporary license to the concealed weapon licensing board that issued that temporary license.
Any questions?

Sign up at Michigan Gun Owners forum (MCRGO) and ask Jim Simmons (the mod for the Legal Beagal forum). He's pretty good about giving advice on the forum.

Fixed it for ya Ghost. :)

Also, do not, under any circumstances, mention MCRGO over at MGO. You will not gain brownie points by doing so.

OK now I'm confused, I've never heard of MGO, But I've only been a gun owner for less than a year. Should I check this site out? And should I ask my question at both MCRGO and MGO?

Welcome to OCDO Carolyn.

You should post your questions/concerns in the N.H. & S.C. sub forums. The folks in those areasare more knowledgeable thanus here in the Michigan sub forum.

Thats not the problem of the applicant. They can issue a temp permit, and they have to if they delay too long.
