    Default Montco concealed carry license.

    I took my wife to courthouse in Norristown to renew her license Friday and discovered Montco, as of May 1, 2018, now has a waiting period. She filled out the application and will be notified when she can return to the courthouse to pick up her license.

    That's sad to hear. I just renewed mine last year in 20 mins because it was fairly crowded.

    3 weeks. Still waiting. Way to go Sheriff!

    I can't imagine how you can break a process so horribly to go from 3 minutes to 3 weeks +.

    Probably on purpose.

    I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that they were switching to an online application submission followed by a trip to pick it up when it clears.

    So I was wrong... kind of.

    My license was ready (as in ready to be created after they took my pic) since a couple of days after I submitted the application. They were just unable to contact me for some reason and of course, they don't give out status over the phone.

    BTW, you don't have to go to Montgomery County Courthouse anymore to apply or renew, you can just submit via email.

    Then they will call you a couple of days later (if they don't have the same issue reaching you as they did for me) and you can pay/get pic taken/pick up LTCF.

    You don't have to apply in person, but you still have to go to Norristown for pictures and prints and to pick up your permit. They used to do them all "while you wait" but no more. Now they say up to 45 days, so it's a net loss for the good guys. Not surprising.

    I've spent all of my almost 59 years living in Montco and it used to be a bastion of conservatism. Then at some point the libs started to move in from Philthadelphia.

    Funny thing. They move out of the city because 65 years of Dem rule turned it into a shit hole...yet they continue to vote for the same kinds of politicians when they get here.

    This actually makes far more sense. Sometimes there's a lot of people waiting in line for who knows how long. Gotta run out and pay to park if your meter time runs out.
