wait is over.....
« on: March 22, 2011, 02:46:29 PM »
Wait is finally over.... just received a letter from the prothonotary..... inside is a spankin new unrestricted permit! No references were contacted......no letter from the Ag's office...... turned my application in January 13th 2011..... pretty fast turnaround time for Kent county...... now to order my supertuck and hit the range a few times before I go out in public armed for the first time....

Edit- permit good for 3 years, heard somewhere it was 5 years now....

I'm so jealous.  I had to call the Prothonotary Office today and see what's up, and was told I should receive the permit anytime now.  Congrats!

I know the feeling, I called 2 weeks ago and she said it would be another week or 2... She was right on. I hate waiting for anything, thankfully it wasn't 6-7 months like some were saying it was gonna be.  :o

Congrats, Colt.

FYI, it is that long if you are a new applicant in New Castle County.

So is New Castle County slower than Kent Co? OR do you think it be the same wait time?
I applied on Jan 25th. This Friday will be 2 months for me.

NCCo is definitely slower than Kent.

All counties send their paperwork to ncc. Thats where the only investigators are that work on the ccdw permits . They also do other things ,and work on ccdw permits when they have time. I think it has alot to do with work load as to how long the turn around time is. At least this is what I was told by an investigator.
