Excellent, there is still hope for us in Sussex county.
Still waiting, my wife and I both filed on 3/18.

Friend of mine just received his permit today after waiting 80 days from the time he filed.  Sussex County at that!

I'm on 11 weeks and counting.. A friend of mine that filed after me got his 3 weeks ago. So I called and what they told me is the doj in Wilmington only has 12 investigators, some if which are only part time so really it's the luck of the draw. She's waiting on mine along with 200 others :-(

Yes, they all go through Wilmington.

Also keep in mind that you're all pushed to the bottom of the pile so that renewals can be completed before they expire.  Frustrating, but worth the wait.

Are you sure? Even Sussex county?

Thats what I was told!  I'll verify with my uncle when he gets back from vaca.  He's a balif in Sup Ct in Wilm. 

The paperwork is turned into the Prothonotary's office for each county, but the AG's office in Wilmington handles the backgrounds for all three counties.  -- at least that is my understanding.  I will double check and report back.

Two weeks after I filed, I was called by the Attorney General's office and told all looked good and my paper work was being sent to Wilmington.

If all that is true why do the wait times differ so greatly between counties?
Title: Re: Sussex County-wait times for new Apps
Post by: Moosie on June 25, 2013, 03:49:00 AM
Not sure why there's a difference in processing times.  I know the investigators who are assigned to do background checks on us have other duties as well. I would think (while this sucks) that the other matters take priority?

Do you have something in your background that needed investigation or something incorrect on your form that caused further investigating? If so that could be the issue.
My wife and I both got ours back in April and it was a 6 week 2 day wait.

Thanks for the post on the WBOC video. I missed the news the day it aired.
I guess that means that approximately 7% of the people in Sussex county have CCDW permits.

According to Wikipedia, the 2010 census shows a Sussex county population of 197,145.  (2647+676)/197145 = ~1.6%.  Were you counting just adults? Or just responsible adults? Or just responsible conservative adults? If the latter, most of NCC would be excluded!

Read an article yesterday about Sussex County. It said last year, 2012, there were 435 CCW permits issused in Sussex. Already this year thaere have been approx. 625 applications submitted. We still have over 5 months left this year. Stands to reason it will take longer, since, at the current rate, there could be an additional 300-400 more applications to process.

Waiting is hard, in this hurry up world, but must be. Anything worth having is worth waiting for......

I was counting people over the age of 21 who are not in jail, on parole, or registered sex offenders.  :D

At 7% CCDW, Sussex County must have a polite society!
