TN Handgun Carry Permit

[Tyler Johnson]

Hello,

I just applied for my handgun carry permit today. How long will it take to get it in?

I've seen as little as two weeks, and as long as 60-70 days. Totally depends on the person, the volume of permits in the system at the time of application, and the good old USPS.

I think it was 11 days from the time I left the DMV. But I did all my application process online. Basically they had all they need and was waiting on me to take the CCW class. Once I successfully completed the class if got fingerprinted and then paid the DMV. I did both 2 days after the classs.

Took me longer to get in a class then it did to get the permit.
