CCW application time

[Guest Coolboarder8913]

How long does it take after you turn the application in to receive your permit?

[Guest Catfish36]

Depends. I think it is anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks. I think I got mine in 4..but it was a LOONNNGG 4 weeks..seemed like it was never going to get here. Hang in there...don't even think about carrying until you have it in your hand..It's not worth the risk.

[Guest Coolboarder8913]

wasn't planning on it. a whole lot more risk than the reward is worth

[rustyshakelford]

i think i had mine 2 1/2 - 3 weeks after finger printing ....but i've heard of some waiting up to 6 weeks...so i guess it depends on how busy they are.

I hate to be the acronym nazi, but in Tennessee its HCP, not CCW.

I wish it was a CCDW though, so I could carry a switchblade knife or other things like that like you can in some states with a permit. I'm STILL waiting for anyone to explain to me why I can carry a weapon that shoots deadly pieces of metal for a hundred yards but heaven forbid I have a tiny switchblade knife in my pocket.......

Back on topic, mine took about 19 days from the time I was fingerprinted to getting the permit in the mail. This was back in April/May of last year.

Was in a county in MI last week where open carry was allowed with no permit but any folding knife was illegal. I carried my 1911(winter time) and got out my 3" pocket knife to open presents and was told not to get caught with it in this county.

You know what they say... Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

[Guest tommy62]

Lately most folks are saying 2-4 wks.

[Guest dubaholic2]

mine took 33 days from the time i got printed, but that was 6 years ago.

My permit came in the mail today, I sent the application on 12/20. I was pleasantly surprised it only took 28 days given that there had to be some days folks were not working due to the holidays.

went to the DMV today and filed the application and was able to get a finger print appointment today also. hoping to get it in the 2-3 wks most people are experiencing right now...***crossing fingers***

[Guest Star1021Scott]

I applied and was fingerprinted on 1/11, called today for fun, and was told the permit was approved and issued on 1/23. Should recieve it in a few days.

[Bubba0031]

Back in the old days we had to wait the entire 90 days (66 for me). If they get much quicker they may begin giving them to you while you stand in line.

I applied and was fingerprinted on 1/18. Hope mine goes through just as quickly.

[Volzfan]

They come out a lot quicker than they did when I got my 1st permit!

[Guest Coolboarder8913]

Did my application and fingerprinting Monday so now I get to just sit and wait.....(I hate waiting)

[eddieproctor]

Mine and the wife's took 24 calender days after finger printing on 12/27/11!!

[Guest Coolboarder8913]

Well 14 days and I have my permit now. Quicker than I expected.

[Mdunntn]

Maybe a dumb question but Where exactly do you get fingerprinted at? I know you get finger printed after Your paper work but is there a specific place.

Once you turn your paperwork in they give you a number to call. Once you call the number they ask you were you would prefer to be printed at. I am in Clarksville so there was only Integrity Security that did it. In bigger cities I would imagine they have more places.
