Jason Stein said:The state fell behind Dec. 30 on its obligations under the new law, which requires new applications to be handled within 21 days.
So far, nearly 71,000 people have applied for permits and swamped state officials at the Department of Justice, who have printed more than 51,000 so far. That comes as handgun sales and the state background checks for those sales reached record highs last year.
But the state is not offering any financial compensation for those who paid the $50 fee for a license but who have to wait beyond the legal deadline.
So far, about 1,100 applicants have been denied, Brueck said. Most of the denials are for reasons such as the applicant's address didn't match other state records, leaving open the possibility the person could correct that information, reapply and receive a permit.
"We've gone 130 years without the right to carry. I've told our members they can wait another week or two," Clark said.
