Received my permit today. Since I filed, I've been "lurking" here seeing how long it takes based on other's experience and feedback. To my fellow newbies who are waiting and trying to gauge timelines, here are my "stats" for the process:
Filed app: June 5th
Received: 27 August
Postmarked: 26 August
Sussex county
"old" style card --- I think anyway. My teenaged daughter laughed and said she could design something more "official looking"
My application reason for permit was not the typical "protection of self, family and property." I had a serious occurrence (ongoing) and actually struggled with weather or not to be general or very specific with the details. I was very specific and it worked out. If you are in the process of applying and are in similar circumstances, I would be happy to share.
To the long time permit holders --- Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights. It is very much appreciated!
