Just went down today to renew my carry permit. I have 30 days left on my current permit. The AC Sheriffs that work in the office, ( I must say, the women that work down there have the personalities of a can of dinty moore beef stew. But, thats another thread in the making.) Told me that the renewal can take up to 45 days because they are behind. Well my advice is this. At 2 months PRIOR to your permit expiring GO DOWN AND RENEW. I also saw on the wall in the office that they are trying to implement a online registration process so you dont have to make multiple trips downtown.
