delco permit issue time
I applied for a permit to carry in mid january....current permit expires in mid march. Was told today that there will be a 30 day delay beyond the regular 6 week wait time. The arrogant and uninfomed secretary in the sheriffs office denied that there was any law regarding a 45 day requirement for issuance or denial.
Their backlog is not my problem and is not included as an exception to the time requirement in the statute.
When I pay my county taxes, they would not be very understanding in any backlog I would have in paying my bills.
Aside my experience, has anyone applied for a permit in the time frame of mid january and have not received response?

Re: delco permit issue time
I hope they don't.take that long. I applied 2.21.13 (see thread "Anyone...")
There has to be someone we can contact that knows the law that can enforce the 45 day rule on them.

Re: delco permit issue time
Tell them to use the thousands of $$$ they stole from us in over charging for LTCFs for years to hire more clerks.
Law is law. Go down on the 45th day and demand your license

Re: delco permit issue time
My wife applied and got back her application approval letter less than the 45 days required, but we just went today to pick it up and it took just under 2 hours to wait, holy crap alot of people are applying for permits these days!
the wife said never again to go on a Saturday.

Awesome idea, but between daughter, work and school I have almost no free time.

If you decide to take some kind of action I will help in any way I can.

Re: delco permit issue time
thank you for your support.... I will be going to the office on Friday 3/8. I will post again and let you of the status. It is bad enough to take more than the 45 days, but for the sheriff's office to deny any law regarding the timely requirement within the law is inexcusable. Furthermore, they should revisit their policies regarding the refusal to accept application more that 60 days from the expiration of the permit.

I applied on Feb 2nd.......still waiting.....

Re: delco permit issue time
The backup there is also delaying sign-offs on ATF Form 4's for NFA items..

Re: delco permit issue time
I handed my app in Jan 24th, and just called them yesterday to get a status. Although the sec would not give me a status over the phone, she did inform me they are not even up to January yet with applications. She told me about another 2-3 weeks.

Re: delco permit issue time
My sign off only took one day in January...maybe it's different now...:confused:
-
Re: delco permit issue time
Lets see which one i get first. I sent off for my AZ CWP today.
-
Re: delco permit issue time
For those who are interested, I received my approval letter today which was dated 3/4/13. Application date 1/14/13.
Given 30 days to pick up in person at the sheriff's office. Cutting the process close, expiration date on current permit is 3/14.

Yup I got signed off for a couple NFA items :D - just go in and ask for the Sherriff's secretary Debbie - if she's not there ask for Bridgett - and have your forms completely filled out and your picture attached. She asked for my DL and LTCF and made a copy of them and took my cell #. Dropped off on Thursday AM and got them back the following Wed AM. Bridgett apologized for it taking so long.
FYI - I contacted Radnor PD Supt and asked if he would sign off - he never responded. Sherriff service was prompt and courteous.
I got my prints at Springfield PD (50 powell ave) - $40 if you're not a Springfield resident.

Re: delco permit issue time
Mrs. Bitter applied for her LCTF today and the clerk in the Sheriff's office told her wait times are 45-50 days. When she mentioned that her understanding was that she had to have an acceptance or denial within 45 days. the clerk's response was that she knew that was the case but they are just completely swamped with new applications.
Mrs. Bitter also mentioned that there was an elderly couple ahead of her in line probably in their mid to late 70 applying for their LCTFs. Nice to hear of so many folks taking responsibility for their own safety.

They told me same thing. Sucks. Mann 70 wonder if they were renewing or first timers.

Re: delco permit issue time
When I was there a few weeks ago for renewal there was 1 elderly couple probably 70 ish also it was their first time they said. There was probably 10 people or so there I was the youngest by far I am 27 everyone else looked to be around my father in law's age 50+. I hope I get it back before mine expires. We will see I guess

Congrats. I wonder what recourse we have for Counties breaking the 45 day law. I would contact your County, elected official and notify them of this issue.
