I do not know of a Sheriff that does that.

What extra steps?

The subject of this thread. The "police check card". The sheriff says you don't have to get it, but he'll make a point of making you wait the full 45 days if you don't. To me that sounds like selective enforcement in retaliation for not following his extra-legal procedure.

No, not at all. Up to 45 days is normal in many counties. Granted, many are much faster. At least one county does not understand the concept of "days".

Montgomery gives you a way to speed up the process. NO one is forcing you do to anything.

Oh, and the Montgomery County Sherif is not a he. She is quite 2A supportive.
