Luzerne County CWP
Thursday, November 5th will be the 45th day since I applied for my concealed carry permit (renewal) in Luzerne county. I called the Sheriff about 1 week ago and asked if they had a backlog that was delaying the issuance or denial of the permits. I was told no! What recourse do I have if the permit is not issued within the 45 day limit as required by law. Any advise is appreciated.

Re: Luzerne County CWP
When does your current LTCF expire?
Legally, your current license is valid for six months after the expiration date if you are otherwise eligible for renewal of the license.

Re: Luzerne County CWP
Yeah, what gnbrotz said. It's kinda in "legal-eze" but that's what it means. It is actually valid for 6 months after expiration, as long as you don't commit any prohibiting offense in the meantime.
Thanks, Greg... I should have posted the statute, but was in a hurry when I made the post...no excuse... I know!

Re: Luzerne County CWP
Did you mail it in, or did you go into the office? I was there a few months ago and it took maybe 15 minutes.
troll Free. It's all in your mind.

Re: Luzerne County CWP
normanvin,
I took my completed application along with the completed reference form and contact preference sheet and gave it to the deputy accepting the applications along with a money order for the cost. The deputy proceeded to take my picture and entered information into their computer. He said that they would either drop it in the mail or have a deputy deliver it. I called the office about 2 weeks ago and was told I need to come in after the 45 days have passed if I didn't receive it. The odd thimg is I know people who applied after I did and they were issued their license on the spot without a reference check. That is what seems strange to me. I guess it could have gotten lost in the mail or something. I guees I will have to go back to their office on November 9th and check on it. Just can't imagine what the delay is. When I called them they told me there was no backlog.........thanks
