They never gave me a temporary permit. I don't think they offer one. 45 days is a long time to wait.

The law says within 45 days if your check is good. I wonder what is the shortest amount of time somebody has waited for their permit?

Check: Mississippi Code of 1972 45-9-101 (6) (C)

when did you apply for your ccw permit dckilla. it has been a week today since i applied for mine and it seems to be taking forever. they told me it would take 4 to 6 weeks for me to get it, but i am hoping they get it back to me sooner.

It was the 2nd or 3rd of August when I applied. They told me 4 to 6 weeks as well. When my friend applied for his a couple years ago it took the full 120 days. That's before they changed it to 45 days. I can imagine that it will take them the full 45 days to send the permit.

i will open carry most of the time in part because my pistol is so hard to conceal on me and i feel that the extra time it takes to uncover and then draw could do more harm than good. I will do most of my carrying in O.S. and Biloxi and maybe over toward Pascagoula (I try to stay out of Gulfport). Have youo had any trouble carrying in Gulfport.
