Permit delayed

Status?

Howdy Folks!
So.... has there been any change? What is the current status of this issue?
Still no permit? Permit issued? Any discussion with the sheriff involved?

I'm following this thread with keen interest, considering I'll be applying for my own CCW in the future and would like to know how things go for folks in various counties.

Guess El Paso county is the place ya oughtta be, if you want the minimum of fuss, that is.

Blessings,

I ended up having to go out and get the regular training. That was turned in. Now they say that they can't issue without my picture being taken at their station. I work out of town so the soonest that can happen is Monday morning before I leave to go back out of town from my weekend at home.

But the good news is that you should be able to pick it up right then.

Here's hoping. I'll find out in 14 hours.

How are you liking the Crossbreed? I love mine, and was thinking about ordering a second one for my backup -wondering how wearing 2 holsters would rank as far as useable.

I love it, I can carry my XD9sc IWB in just jeans and a T-shirt and it's completely unnoticeable. Plus, the darn thing only gets more comfortable each day I wear it. Definitely worth the price and the wait.

As far as wearing two, I think Crossbreed makes an even smaller model for a something little like a BUG, that could easily be worn in appendix or small of back mode. Microtuck or something like that. My wife wants one for her .38.

I use my CB with my Beretta 92FS, and it's VERY nice.
A tad bit heavy, but that's not the holster's fault.
I'm figuring that if I start carrying 2 (The 92 and an XDM 45), I may need to re-size my pants a bit.

Permit in hand as of yesterday morning. Do all SOs try to put employer information on the permit?

Nope. Mine is the same basic information as my DL; name, address, DOB, height, weight and sex. No employer information.

I concur with Polynikes on that nope. I didn't need to offer that information, either.
Would love to know how THAT conversation went, though.

eBratt · Jun 15, 2011

They originally got the information when I applied. I had run into the deputy several times through work (I had been doing suicide evaluations at the jail with my job) and as he was collecting other information (height, weight, etc) he asked about employment. I assumed it was friendly conversation but apparently he was entering that into the computer as well.

When I went to get the permit, my employer had since changed. The clerk asked if I still worked at XXXXXXX as she was prepping the permit to print. I said no and she asked where I do work. I started to answer and then asked whether that information was on the permit and she said yes. I then said that it doesn't need to be on the permit and declined to inform them of my current employer.

Sure enough, when the permit printed out, there was a slot for it on the back. It is the only blank line.

So 'HG only', huh? Guess that rules out the Gimli Battle Axe, the WW lasso, Thor's Hammer (Mjöllnir), Hand-held tactical nukular, light saber and noisy cricket, huh?

Great job sticking on it and being patient. :banghead:

eBratt · Jun 16, 2011

Yeah, no kidding. I asked if they issue it for anything other than handguns and she said no. I guess they want to make sure there is no room for misinterpretation!

Anubis · Jun 17, 2011

handguns only

CRS 18-12-204. Permit contents - validity - carrying requirements.
(1) (a) Each permit shall bear a color photograph...
(b) A permit is valid for a period of five years...
(2) (a) A permittee, in compliance with the terms of a permit, may carry a concealed handgun as allowed by state law.

eBratt · Jun 17, 2011

Anubis, yeah, I knew that but the fact that they were specifying HG only made me ask. Never know what you might discover is happening if you ask a few questions.

First time I applied in Denver it was over 300 days before I recieved a response.

300 days!? Tha'ts almost a god damn year!

As much as I liked living in Colorado, I got to say CBI's firearms division must only hire from the local insane asylum.

It took Adams County 77 days to call me to pick mine up.
They sure take their time with 'em.

Even 77 days is crazy.
There's really no excuse for that.
But I could go on for hours about the different problems I have had with CBI's Firearm Division.

To get a "License to Carry Firearms" here in PA, it takes a week and a half - two weeks on average.
In Philadelphia it takes a little longer.

I'll beat that. In Washington, from the day I walked into the SO to apply until it was in my mailbox: 5 days. They run their checks and then issue based on the assumption that you are innocent and will come take it back if the FBI check turns up anything.

Five days is good.

Washington state has made progress! When I obtained my first CC permit up there more than two decades ago, they said it could take up to 30 days, but I had it in hand about 23 days later.
