Wow I definitely did not expect my experience to be so enjoyable. I was in Nd out in about 15 minutes. The officer interviewing me was super nice. She explained everything clearly and told me to wait 8 weeks. I wish everything in Philly was like that. Now i get to wait and see.

Are you entirely sure there wasn't a strip and body-cavity search involved?

I kid... good to hear that it went smoothly and the PPD Gun Unit officer was nice. Now if only they cut down the "8 weeks" to "your background check came back clean here's your card".

Wishful thinking.

45 calendar days is the maximum time they can legally make you wait; that fact hasn't stopped Philly from routinely taking longer though.

Remember, you just had to pay with time and money, deal with an interview where any trip-up could deny you, and now you are waiting still just to exercise a fundamental right; I can't personally describe such a process as enjoyable, tyrannical seems more fitting.

When i got my last permit in Montco, it took less than 2 weeks.

8 weeks, Philly is such a disorganized toilet...

Or is the Philly Gun permit unit disorganized? From what I have read there have been issues discussed regarding problems with other counties' LCTF application procedures. Is most of PA a toilet, or is it all Philly's fault?

Broad brushing the city and alienating its gun carrying public is not a team building exercise and the lefties and gun grabbers in Philly, Harrisburg, and DC count on that.
