I dropped my paperwork off at the New Castle County prothonotary office on June 28 2013. I was told it would take 6 months to get a response. I told my self after reading some of the post here just forget about it and it will show up sooner then I expected it would. Sure enough it did. 10 weeks 6 days. It took my brother only 7 weeks 5 day and he put his paperwork in 1 week earlier then me. I was not ready for it to show up this fast, as I do not have a holster for my firearm yet, but it feels good to have it.
