Hello from Mc Donald. I am new to this site and just within the last 4-5 months have learned to shoot and completed all requirements for my carry permit. How long does it take to get your permit back-it has been 8 weeks now. I have heard there is a # you can call that might speed up the process. Does anyone know that # or is that even true? Since I have gotten the bug for guns, I have purchased a Ruger LCR LG 38 special and also a Sig Mosquito. Since I have never shot a gun before the purchase of these two, I really have nothing to compare them with but I really like them especially the Mosquito. I am wanting to purchase a smaller gun to carry in my pocket or bike bag, any recommendations.

I am a Registered Nurse by profession. Besides the guns, I like to bike which is one of the reasons I decided to get a carry permit. Have enjoyed reading the forums and some of the info received there. Thanks in advance for your comments and advise.

Welcome, Elaine! I lived in McDonald, off of Bancroft RD (Harrison Pike end), for a few years before moving to Signal. It was really nice out there, and I miss it now that I lead a "city" life. Anyway, welcome to TGO! I'm sure you'll enjoy it here.

Welcome! Lots of good info and good folks! Enjoy your new obsession as the prior post(s) have indicated!!! I started out with 2 guns thinking that would do me, now up to 5 and have a wishlist totalling around 10 more now!!! Too bad I don't have $$$ to finish that list off....would probably start another one to boot!:rolleyes:

Welcome, gal.

Permit can take up to 90 days, but more than likely no more than 60 lately.

If you'll call to check on it after 30 days (if you haven't already received it), they'll usually issue it as result of your call, if you don't have any background glitches.
