1) 45 calendar days is the maximum, by statute.
2) It could. Too many variables. You could try calling and inquiring as to the status of your app.

Allegheny County seems to be running about 30 calendar days at the moment. They have been processing quite a few applications. I would suggest getting to the courthouse early if/when you go to pick up your license. I arrived last week at 9:30 and was in line behind ten people or so. When I was leaving at 10 the line was halfway around the courtyard.
