like the title says I went to the court house today and turned in everything... Then I asked how long they thought it would take and I was told 4-6 months. When I asked why they asked why am I rushing to carry a cdw. I hope they are wrong and it is just 3 months like most people
-
Interesting..........
-
I was told the same thing. I think they're just swamped right now.
-
what sucks is that i had everything together over a month ago but dint have time to get up there to give it to them... I hope they are wrong.. 6 months will seem like a life time
-
I believe that, I mailed everything in the beginning of October and I haven't heard from them yet other then them cashing my check. I guess there is no money in the budget to get more staff to work on CCWs.
-
I'm not surprised at the wait, it seems like the number of permits keep going up, two years ago the wait was only 90 days.
-

I have several students going on 6 + !
-
i wonder in a year or two if the wait will get longer or shorter? might just be a mad rush just like with the rise of handgun sales since the obama admin took over. it is a small state eventually everyone who wants one will have it, lol
-
Is the total number of DE CCW permit holders published each year? How about a total national number?
-
I don't believe a total number is published in DE or Nationally. Not sure but I could be wrong.
-
Given how much trouble the ag's office is having just prosecuting criminals lately, it shouldn't be a surprise that its taking so long for them to investigate ccdw applications. Lately its gotten to the point that they are refusing to even take on some criminal cases and trying to push them to civil court.
-
Wow, I'm due for renewal in 2010. Guess I'll get my stuff together and get it in ASAP.
-
Yea I need to get my renewal paper work in.

Permits are renewed by the Courts not the AG's office (not yet anyway) so getting your renewal should only be 2/3 weeks
-
Aries other then Pasport photos and the application filled out and a check is their anything else needed for renewal?

Same app as filing for a new permit. Just mark renewal at the top, new photos within 30 days of filing for renewal. No references, finger prints or newspaper ad needed. (not yet).
At some point it all will change. Permits will be good for 3 years at first and then 5 years after every renewal. Price will go up based on yearly fee. Your CCDW permits will be webbed into your drivers license, no photos will be needed they will just use your drivers photos. (how and when all this will take place is a guessing game, no one has an answer)
Don't be surprised if you wake up some day and the DSP has full control over the CCDW process.
-
So here's my dilemma, I used "For Protection of Person or Property or Both" on my initial application and had no problem, do I use the same or what should I put?
-
Sig, if it worked the first time, I'd say use it.

-
When I asked why they asked why am I rushing to carry a cdw.
Perhaps they don't read TNJ...
-
Moosie, I think thats what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna take it tomorrow so we shall see what happens.
-
do I use the same or what should I put?
I would, it's a renewal not a re-approval. The only thing I changed from my original was I added "As a current CCDW permit holder who carries on a day basis I seek renewal of my permit for......."
-
I like that Aries, If they say its not enough info I may try that.
-
so i checked my mail yesterday and there was a letter from the department of justice. It was just a copy of a letter that was sent to the prothonotary office saying the criminal history inquiry was complete and they found nothing wrong. So what does this mean? How much longer do I have to wait?
-
A couple weeks you should be good to go. ;D
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.. thats the best news I have got in a while.
-
Don't be surprised if you wake up some day and the DSP has full control over the CCDW process.
If they went to that, the process might actually be efficient!
-
Moosie Why's it gotta be a Trooper????? Got something against Fireman? LMAO!!!!!! ;D
-
I called the court house today just to check up and I was told it should be in my hands by the end of next week.
And Moosie Since this was my thread I think i should be invited to the hot tub too...LOL...I always thought that uniforms were "optional" when getting in hot tubs ;)
-
So I went to the courthouse this morning and picked up my permit ;D ;D ;D. I got a phone call yesterday saying it was going to be mailed out but it would have to go to dover first then they would send it to me.. What a waist of time and money.. I told them to hold it and I would be into get it. Now im waiting on my supertuck that I ordered about 3 weeks ago so I hope it comes soon.
-
Good for you. Wait til the 1st time CC'ing. I dont know about anyone else, but the 1st few times I CC'd, I felt like I was doing something wrong. Now, dont leave home without it.
They are still in NO rush to process renewals.
-
Interestingly enough my cousin turned in all his paperwork yesterday and they told him 2 months! I told him expect 6 hope fore 2. It would be great if the time was coming down.

well I hope your cousin gets it in two months but after seeing the large stacks off apps that were on her desk I would lean towards the 6 month wait. She had three stacks that were at least 12 inches tall.
on another note I called crossbreed about my holster and they said another 2-3 weeks before I will see it.. I guess I should have ordered it when I filed..LOL
-
6 weeks for a crossbreed holster WOW!!!!! I remember when it was a week. DONT BUY CROSSBREED HOLSTERS THEY SUCK!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D. Also Im getting real worried its now May 7 and no permit yet >:(

wow is right. I asked for my money back but they said they already started making it so they couldnt refund the money.. So I was like if you already started why would it take 2-3 more weeks... what ever.
Have you called to check on your renewal? I have been dealing with a women by the name of Dale Broome. She is very nice and maybe if you aske her kindly she will move your app along faster.
-
Her direct number is: 255-0690
GOOD LUCK!
EDIT: Sig PM inbound.

I spoke to her Wednesday. She says they are still working on this year's renewals, and they are mindful of the approaching expiration date.
She was very nice and helpful. She also said that there are more applications this year than ever before, and that there is now only one person in the Prothonotary's office working on the permits.
-
...they are mindful of the approaching expiration date.
Does that also mean then dont give a SH%T if it expires?
More apps... They could ADD A JOB. Could be another person WORKING. Then the Yahoo headline today could have read:
290,001 jobs created; unemployment rose to 9.9 pct.
-

Which County?

The impression I got was that they DO care, and that they are working on it.
When I say "they," I mean the investigators and the Prothonotary. The lady I spoke to explained that each renewal gets another background check before it is approved, and that she is sending the permits out as fast as she is getting the approvals.
-
I'm Kent. Anyone else Kent?
-
she is sending the permits out as fast as she is getting the approvals.
That's what I have the problem with. I dont care if they are getting another background check, that's fine.
The few times I called, I got the feeling from the conversation "it doesnt expire until end of May, what's the rush".
We'll process the new ones while yours is still good.
Personally, it should be FIFO.
-
FIFO?

FIFO?
First in First out

Gotcha

Mailed everything 11-23-09 ...so I just passed the 7 month wait ??? Maybe they should spend less money designing there pretty web site & hire another person. What's with the second background check the AG's office had it for 6 months & no one has ever called the references. They don't return calls either

none of my ref's were called. Im guessing they just check them in deljis ( i think that is how its is spelled) to see if they have a history. Did you call the court house to get an update? I had to return a call to a detective from the AG's office and he didnt return any of my calles.. I bet i called 30 times and I got nothing back. But when I spoke with Dale Broome in the court house she was VERY VERY helpful.
-
Got a voice message from Dale last nite at 1900 that my permit was in the mail. She was very polite...can't believe that they work until 7PM unless it's recorded earlier & sent out after hours???

what sucks is that your permit gets mailed from wilmigton to dovor and then back out to you.. a big waste of time and money in my mind.. you sould have it by the end of the week though.. Congrats!
-
I hope my renewal is in the mail: there are only four "mail days" left until our permits expire next Monday night.
-
Just got the permit in the mail yesterday, so 7 months & 3 days from mailing away. Sent the PA application away today. :)
