Ya think they work for the tax payers? Virginia has a 45 day limit for Clerks of Court to do the CHP. My county has been pretty good about beating the deadline, others need encouraging.

I've spent 3 decades submitting meaningless environmental reports that must be sent on time or I get fined. The gummint is allowed to sit on them for years or take their own sweet time responding. Still frosts me after all this time.

It's sort of a new age type thing, gut all the useful, hardworking employees
so an organization can save more for the CEO's. The clerk said the delay was
due to manpower issues? :?:
Gun owners aren't a high priority.

The Michigan State Police website says that the response (approve or deny) is 45 days, so more than 3 months is exceptionally long. For $105, it appears to me that they should be glad to meet their deadlines since it is a good revenue source. An active state gun rights group is one way to apply some pressure on issuing agencies that want to exceed statutory requirements or delay permit issue.

I know a lot of folks who have permits from states like Florida or Utah that allow them more travel freedom since they have very broad reciprocity agreements. I wonder if it is worth the extra bucks to have one of those as insurance against your own state having a case of the slows.

I found a DPS Texas website that shows the status of your CC request after you enter your personal information, underwear size, etc..

My permit is still under review, it said. - I was starting to wonder if the mailman had lost my permit or something.

So I guess I'm just going to have to hurry up and wait, trying to be patient about it.

It's nice to know that I can check the status of my permit online.

Last weekend at the gun show, my purchase of a M1A was instantly "green-lighted" by the ATF without the dealer even having to hang up and wait for a call-back.

Oh, well.

Like a fine wine, no permit shall be served before its time. Which would you rather have a properly aged permit or one that is raw and green?
