like sprinklerguy says. they have EXACTLY 45 days to approve or deny your license, once the fingerprint card is back. find out the day your finger print card comes back and the NEXT day go in and ask where you license is, the law underscore......LAW says they must approve or deny within 45 days of the return of the fingerprint card. this happened to me. the clerk said it would take 5 months before i got my license in the mail. i went in with a copy of the law and the clerk sent me up to the gun board a second time i sat down i the little stuffy room they had and before i was called up the a person in the clerks office called me out into the hall an said to come in the next day to pick up my license. . heres my guess as to what is going on, they are swamped with license requests, and instead of doing the smart thing....hire a person to handle the extra work, they instead do the easy thing, make us/you wait. its BS i agree but its the done thing look at wayne county oakland county and some of the big counties similar to macomb, they all have huge backlogs of CPL requests, and instead of doing the smart thing, hire a few temps to help with the heat, they do the easy thing and guess what! long wait times! however wayne or at least detroit has i believe hired a person just to work on the CPL mailing issue, this after a gentleman was arrested detained and eventually released because DPD pulled him over, and the gentleman disclosed he had a CPL, showed his DL and CPL and was ARRESSTED, FOR NOT HAVEING A CPL! long story short, he did have a cpl it was mailed to him a week before he was stopped, but it wasn't put into the LEIN network by the clerks office because the person who did that quit. i have the article here somewhere but it was on the late night news. the persons family even brought in the LETTER FROM THE CLERKS office and showed DPD, DPDs response was "its a fake" WTF! he was released hours later, without an apology! of any kind. and he said he wasn't interested in a law suit just that he didn't want it to happen to someone else. it was a 2 part story on 2 seperate night with i think it was channel 4 actually getting to interview someone at the wayne county clerks office. good story i'll post it the second i find it in my PC its a doozy!
