I renewed my permit early last month as it expires on 08 MAR. I called today to see what was up. The girl tells me it will be 45 days and probably longer as they have been swamped with new aps. Forty five days puts me near the end of March. I don't want to carry with an expired permit and a receipt for the renewal. What's a guy to do???

PS I don't want to find myself needing a gun and not having one, either.
