Just applied for my TN HCP

[grly_brd]

Hey, guys. I applied for my HCP today. Paperwork is complete. Fees are paid. Fingerprints are taken. I'm really anxious to get this. I know they tell you you'll get it within 90 days, but I've heard of people getting in about 3 weeks. I've also heard that there was a huge increase in the amount of applicants since last November. Point being.. Does anyone out there know how backed up the state is right now with these things? Let me know!

[bockey]

It took me the full 90 days:(

Be patient

[DWARREN123]

Don't know about right now but I think the time is starting to come down.

Got mine a few years ago.

Howdy and Welcome to TGO

Took the class with several guys (n gals) from work. The first wave of folks to complete the process received theirs I 4 - 6 weeks. I'm right at 6 weeks and still waiting on mine. I've heard that TBI began helping at some point and there's some speculation that the took part of the stack of pendings... Not so much first in first out. I would plan on 90 days and hope for 45. Use some of the wait time to get some. practice in and study up on TN gun laws. Good luck!!!

if you have no record it shouldn't take more than 2 months

[Guest hi im drummer03]

Took 30days for mine 2 years ago...

Congrats on getting everything done. Hope everything goes quickly for you...

Mine took 53 days from my visit to the TDOT Driver's Testing Center.

Call this number 1-866-849-3548 and get them to check the status of your permit (self explanatory menu options). They sometimes have already approved your permit, but haven't sent it out yet. This will get it sent out. It will take all of 10 business days to get to your door.

Got the permit in the mail Friday, Oct. 9th 2009.

[grly_brd]

Thanks for all the replies. I finally got my HCP today. 50 days exactly.

[Guest ArmyVeteran37214]

Time for that walmart walk!

[eapking]

I'd call in 3 weeks. Amazing how they seem to spring to action when you call. I think waiting 3 weeks is reasonable.

[Guest (BH)]

42 days and counting for me.

[coopracing]

Yea, 46 days for me. I was looking at this post and it started on the 9th which was a Friday and I submitted on the 12th, the following Monday. I am hoping mine will be here within a couple days!!

[shortround]

I'm at 40 days. Getting very anxious.

[Guest obeone52]

I just got my about a month ago.It took 60 days right on the noise

They tell you in class the state has 90 days to issue it and you think 21 days is reasonable? HAHAHAHAHA

[Guest bkelm18]

Chill. Many people have received it in under a month. So obviously the state finds it reasonable as well.

[trblmkr13]

I did my fingerprints on Friday and I am hoping for a quick turn around but expecting it to take 60 days

[Bubba0031]

Took me 66 days and that was last spring.

[Guest Runnfree]

I think mine came in 22days this time last year.

[Guest Phil]

Got mine a few weeks ago - it took about 30 days.

[rentalguy1]

I followed the advice on here, and called today (three weeks yesterday, and the advice is call at 3-4 weeks). They told me it was still in processing and would take 90 days.

[Guest B_Carter]

Took me close to 75 days and I still havent received it in the mail yet.

Just out of curiosity because I am in the same boat, does this deter you from carrying?

[garethsk]

Applied for mine yesterday (10/08/09), fingerprinted today (10/09/09)...be interesting to see how long it takes.

State of TN sent me a Christmas present...

...my permit arrived today. 70 days.
