Is it not possible that the numbers are inflated to ask for an increase in their funding or hire new friends/employees?

Anything is possible! Just like it's possible only 50,000 apply the first day or two it's also possible 500,000 permit applications get mailed in on Nov 1st. I guess it's a BIG wait & see. We are all just guessing at this point. The high numbers are very possible with the amount of gun owners in this state

You know if they had nothing to do, they'll still take the full amount of time to do it. I mean, these are government workers...

Besides she even was quoted as follows:

"As far as processing applications, again we have no historical experience to draw off, but certainly we will do everything in our power to meet or exceed the processing time limits imposed by the Legislature," Brueck said.

Perhaps it depends on what the meaing of "exceeding a time limit" means to the DoJ. ;)

like I was saying in another similar post , we can all expect an instant 3-4 month Backlog, they don't have the staffing to process those numbers expeditiously. so the legal 21 + 45 day time frame is not going to happen..for Many of the first applicants it will mean you might get your permit February or March maybe even later. I won't hold my breath on getting my permit that I will apply for on Nov 1st before mid Feb to late March... if I do get it earlier than that I will consider myself one of the lucky ones.. with all the media hype this has gotten over the last year, I would not be shocked to see 100,000 - 250,000 applications flood the DOJ on the first day or two, with thousands more coming in each day for at least the first month...

They did increase staff for this on a temp. basis. Most of the LTE's were hired for 6 months. Others they will keep as long as they are needed.

It would not suprise me if the DOJ ignored the above as they ignored the section that specifically forbids them from making any changes in the training requierments...:mad: :banghead:

He probably just used wrong punctuation...I caught it too. 45 days for the first 90(?) days, then 21 days thereafter...

I have had discussions with a group who has set up training in four other states when they first passed shall issue carry laws. With their experience in those states and the population in Wisconsin they are projecting 100,000 permit applications the first 12 months the law is in effect with us topping out at around 250,000 to 300,000 permit holders in two to three years.

We have 72 counties in Wi. , We would need to see 1,389 from each county to see 100.008 permits applied for. I believe there are a number of counties that you would be lucky to get a 100 applicants and I don't see Dane, Milwaukee, Greenbay, eau claire, Kenosha, Racine and name any other counties that would make up for the lack of resident permits sought.

50.000 to 65.000 maybe
