Title: New Castle County Renewal & NEW Permit Update
Post by: SKYDIVR on July 06, 2011, 11:48:56 PM
Hey guys,

I reached out to the Prothonotary's Office directly for an update on my new permit application (I know.. I’m an impatient bastard) and was surprised to receive a prompt and detailed response which I will share with all of you patiently waiting in NCCo. I hope they don't mind.

The question I posed was: "I submitted my new CCW application on 5-11-11, just wondering if you guys have made it through all the renewal apps yet and have begun to process the new apps."

Answer:
"To answer your question, we have survived yet another year of voluminous renewals and are very pleased with our efforts. Although renewal applications are still trekking in, we have reverted our efforts fully to New applications.  Currently our office is processing those NEW applications filed with the intake office in April, and pretty soon will come upon yours. Please be assured that it will be given our utmost attention.  Please give the application at least 3 months (minimum) from processing since there are dual agencies and multi-layered steps involved in granting a NEW permit."


Happy waiting to all...

Did you call or email? If you emailed, would you mind messaging me the address? I turned my stuff in on 3/14 and I'm starting to get fed up...

Thanks!

Thanks for the update. Mine was submitted 3/28/11. Looking at recent turn around times I think that puts me in the next 3 weeks to get mine...I hope.

UPDATE...
I sent an email and I got a response in less than a minute  :o (I have never seen a response that fast from any governmental agency.... and I doubt I will ever see it again)

It was approved and they are laminating it. It should leave their office today.

BTW, I was wrong... I sent mine in early Feb (not March)

Error- Hopefully you received your permit by now.  I think you'll be impressed at how well it is "laminated".  I had seen other threads on how poorly therse permits are assembled, but I was stunned when I received mine a few weeks ago at how bad they really are.  They must be using a $10.00 Chinese made laminator to make these CCDW permits.  I also loved the fact that they make the permit biggger than any slot in your wallet.  Apparently an engineering consultant with a PhD must have designed these permit for the State.  Anyway, glad to hear your permit is on it's way.

Thanks for the e-mail address.  I received a reply which stated that my app. was at the AG's office, no further info. was available.  Contacted AG's office and was informed that they were finishing w/renewals and were now into new apps.

UPDATE: I applied on 3-1-11, I contacted the AG's office again for more info.  I was informed that they didn't receive it from the prothonotary's office until the 1st week of July(it took 4 months for them to get). The investigatiion was completed w/i 2 weeks and returned to the prothonotary's office on 7-29. Re-contacted their office on 8-1 and was now informed that they had it. However, the judge was on vacation and they were going to try an determine when he would return(only 1 judge in NCC).
Now I wait.

We'll I'm just shy of 3 months in (Applied 5-11) and man I didn't think the wait would be this painful. On a good note I finally got a call back from X-Ring regarding a specific XD .40 I was looking for. The day I took my CCDW class with Dave Johnson (early May) I stopped by X-Ring and asked if they had or could get their hands on an OD Green XD .40. Bob said he would see what he could do, took my name and number, and said he would let me know.

To my surprise I received a call from Bob last Thursday (8-4) and he told me he just got his hands on a used, but pristine OD Green XD .40. Needless to say I found my way to X-Ring by the end of the day and I'm now the proud owner of a Springfield Armory .40 cal. Overall my experience with X-Ring is very positive, even today I'm still surprised he remembered me by only writing down some basic info on a legal pad.

Hopefully I get the chance to take it up to Target master later this week to break it in. All the extra practice before receiving my permit is not a bad thing! I'll post my review of the XD when I get a chance.

Thanks to all for the continued posts regarding NCCo wait times. Hopefully we get some April/May approvals soon...
