Holy crap, it took them 2 weeks just to send it off to the state?

 

[theslacker29]

dang, took two weeks to send off to ISP, they gave me mine to mail, i sent it out the same day, february 24.. so it should be arriving in about 10 days.. hopefully

 

[Sureshot129]

Here they don't send it to ISP they tell you to wait the two weeks for the chief to sign off on it.

Sent min in 2/10. Hoped to get it today but was disappointed yet again.

First time lifetime personal protection...

29 January - Applied at Kokomo Police Department
17 February - Received letter from KPD informing me of forwarding to ISP
7 April - License issued
10 April - License received

So, ~2.5 weeks with KPD, ~7.5 weeks with ISP I guess...

Where do you live? I see you're in NWI and now I'm curious what the SJPD does.

Sureshot, I mean

 

[Sasquatchhunter]

I filed for mine last week (4-2-09) and they said it could be up to 19 weeks......

 

[tv1217]

I think a lot of that has to do with your local PD because it seems to average out to 8 weeks (give or take a few days) from ISP

Hello all! I'm brand new here, and this is my very first post. I mailed my application for LT LTCH to ISP on March 23. A couple days after I applied, a friend of mine told me he just got his back from ISP, it took 2 weeks. He said a friend of his and his wife both applied at same time, his took 4 weeks, hers took 3. I was hoping mine would be that fast, but reading all you folks' times, it sounds like I should expect a few more weeks wait . At least I'll have some great people to chat with in the mean time! BTW, in my county (Carroll), we apply to the sheriff, it takes them 2 days, we return to the sheriff to get fingerprinted, then we mail off the ap to ISP. Very friendly process. I just hate waiting!!

The hell, y'all got lucky, 2 weeks would be a damn miracle

i agree. i applied for mine march 11th, still waiting.

It really stinks the wait is so long. I wonder why it takes the state so long to issue a little piece o paper. anyone know what they do at the state? I figured since sheriff signed off, they would just open our envelope, file it, print your permit, and mail it out to you. What could be so hard about that. Is it because they have to send it to FBI or something? Then wait for a reply from them? What's the mystery?

The local CLEO signoff is just for the local background check. The ISP still have to do their own national background check and they're horribly backlogged.

Wow, must suck to work there. Although it seems they have plenty of "job security" hee hee.

I emailed ISP this morning, and they've confirmed mine was issued yesterday, so I'll hopefully have it by Friday ..

w00t!
