My CCDW license arrived today, but only after a handful of emails and a few phone calls to Dale Broome. I filed March 15th and was expecting an early summer present. My references were sterling, although none were contacted, and my record is squeaky clean, well except for those numerous pesky speeding tickets of my youth, which ended a few decades ago. I was heeding the advice of members of this forum to be patient, Superior Court and the Prothonotary’s office both deal with lots of important issues, but when it got to be early September I emailed Dale, inquiring about my license application. She responded promptly, saying my paperwork was approved June 29th but was flagged for some issue and that she was looking into that. Later that day she left a voice mail to say everything was in order and that my license would be printed and mailed soon. A few emails to Dale went unanswered. After seven more weeks my definition of soon had expired and I called Dale on Thursday. Again she was helpful and ended up telling me that she would personally put it in the mail by the end of the day. She did and it arrived today.
I never asked why I was not contacted in June if there was an issue, mostly out of fear of being shuffled to the bottom of the obviously very high pile.
I’ll be heading to Lancaster next week for the 20 minute PA version.
