Title: wait is over.....
Post by: colt0208 on March 22, 2011, 02:46:29 PM: Wait is finally over.... just received a letter from the prothonotary..... inside is a spankin new unrestricted permit! No references were contacted......no letter from the Ag's office...... turned my application in January 13th 2011..... pretty fast turnaround time for Kent county...... now to order my supertuck and hit the range a few times before I go out in public armed for the first time....

Edit- permit good for 3 years, heard somewhere it was 5 years now....

I know the feeling, I called 2 weeks ago and she said it would be another week or 2... She was right on. I hate waiting for anything, thankfully it wasn't 6-7 months like some were saying it was gonna be. :o

FYI, it is that long if you are a new applicant in New Castle County.

Title: Re: wait is over.....
Post by: Animal66 on March 23, 2011, 01:06:56 PM: So is New Castle County slower than Kent Co? OR do you think it be the same wait time?
I applied on Jan 25th. This Friday will be 2 months for me.
Title: Re: wait is over.....
Post by: Moosie on March 23, 2011, 08:25:42 PM: NCCo is definitely slower than Kent.

Post by: muleman88 on March 23, 2011, 10:37:19 PM: All counties send their paperwork to ncc. Thats where the only investigators are that work on the ccdw permits . They also do other things ,and work on ccdw permits when they have time. I think it has alot to do with work load as to how long the turn around time is. At least this is what I was told by an investigator.

Post by: Animal66 on April 17, 2011, 10:47:44 AM: I called to check the status of my application last week (week 12)
and they told me that it is in the AG's office still under investigation.
I don't know if that is a good thing or not.
The suspense is killing me! Any advice? should I go ahead and order
a supertuck?

Post by: Gorski on April 17, 2011, 12:10:18 PM: Congrats! Called last week to check on my renewal and was told that no renewals had gone out yet but the goal was to have them out by the end of May. Seems New Castle is much slower than the rest.

When I called to check on my status... they told me the same thing... I think that's the standard response if the prothonotary doesn't have it in their possession.... what county did you turn your app into?

Post by: Animal66 on April 17, 2011, 06:35:56 PM: I applied at New Castle County. Hope I hear something soon!

Post by: tz9x21 on April 18, 2011, 11:45:03 PM: One of the officers who work for DOJ who does the background checks is a member of my gun club. He is one of just 3 officers who do all of the background checks for permits among other duties. He said they do an average of 2000 checks a month which includes checks for things other than CCW permits. So a lot of the wait time depends on their workload.

Post by: Animal66 on April 19, 2011, 09:06:04 AM: Pete When did you apply? And are you in NCC?
Title: Re: wait is over.....
Post by: Moosie on April 19, 2011, 12:47:36 PM: Also, Pete, I'm thinking this was a new permit? or was it a renewal? Please let us know.

Thanks!
Title: Re: wait is over.....
Post by: Lumspond on April 19, 2011, 09:12:50 PM: Since Pete doesn't have PA, it must be an initial license, not a renewal.

Post by: Moosie on April 19, 2011, 10:33:38 PM: Thats what I assumed too, Lumspond. However, I've learned my lesson on assuming LOL.
