Good morning,
I'm a resident of Delaware County. I put my LTCF application in on November 25. This morning, I called for an update and was told that the Sheriff's Office may take up to three months to process the permit, apparently because the office is "behind with so many requests."

State law indicates that after 45 days, a permit must have been approved or denied.

What's the deal? I would like to be able to carry my sidearm with me but I'm rather disappointed by the service that the Sheriff's Office is providing. The permit application comes at a fee of $46 per permit and I suppose that I expected that at the cost, I might actually receive the permit in a timely manner.

Rant over. Can anyone provide me with some information about Delaware County's processing?
