HCP question

[Eric]

After you are issued, why does it take so long to receive the actual permit?

I was " issued " on the 2nd and live in the Nashville area where I believe the office is located. I would think that my permit would arrive pretty quick?

P.S. I started the process on July 28th.

Just because it is issued doesn't mean it's dropped in the mail that day. Just means its queued up to be printed, which doesn't happen instantly either.

My renewal has been gone 2 months come the 11th.

I think he means when you call them and they tell you they are issuing it, why it takes so long to arrive in the mail after that point.

Yes this is what I am asking... She said 7-14 days. I figured that would be time to print and mail but I was just asking. Thanks for the info man!

If it only takes like 2 weeks then things have improved since February! It took me 65 days and my brother took the course with me and it took him 98 days...that's right...98 freakin days! WOW!

Rambo I have been waiting since July 28th. I called the office and they advised me it was issued on 9-2-08 . they said it would be another 7-14 days for me to get it... I am actually on day 47 so far .. I got excited and now I am just back to the waiting game...

[cadillacdude1975]

remember that even though it has been issued, you still are unable to legally carry unless you have the physical permit on you. that is a requirement by law.

[Eric]

Oh I realize that.. I am not gonna chance screwing it up over a few more days trust me on that. I carry it unloaded in the trunk to and from the range only.

[Eric]

Got it today so it took a total of 50 days
