The average CCW issue time?

I applied electronically beginning of april and shipped my fingerprints. Haven't even received a payment email. Debating If I should reapply and go to LSP to do prints.

Sending in another app might really screw things up . There has to be a way to check the status of an existing app , right guys ? Advice for everybody else , definitely do the prints at LSP if at all possible .

I wouldn't reapply. Just send them an email inquiring about the status of your app and your prints. They usually respond within 2-3 days, concealed.handguns@dps.la.gov

Worth the trip to have them do your prints at HQ.

sent all my paperwork/fingerprints in on March 15th -- Crickets.........

So now I'm just hang a sign on my back that says "License Applied For" -- hell, it works on vehicles in this backwards assed State!!

Submitted online on Jan 11, 2016
Did prints thru local Police Dept and mailed them on Jan 12th.
Emailed HQ on March 10th requesting status update.
Received email on March 15th stating "We are currently processing Apps submitted in early January".
Received email on April 4th to submit payment and paid in full the same day...
Received certified package on May 20th that my fingerprints that were submitted were not usable and to resubmit fingerprints.
Went to HQ on May 31st (was out of town from 20th thru 30th) and electronically submitted with State Police HQ.

So yes, took over 4 months just to inform me that my prints were no good.

July 19th, Emailed SPHQ inquiring about the status of my CHP.
July 20th, Early morning received email stating will review my app today and if approved will be mailed out tomorrow.
July 20th, Late morning received email CHP has been approved and will receive permit within 10-15 business days.

July 25th, Received my Concealed Handgun Permit in the mail today.

Now I did have prior military, 2 divorces and 6 change of addresses listed on the application.
Hang in there folks! It does take a while.

I am truly astounded,I mailed in my renewal package Monday 7/11/16 and I received my new permit today,Monday 7/25/16! The permit issue date was 7/19/16 and it was postmarked back to me on Friday,7/22/16! Why is it that most folks that I talk to tell me it took them 2-4 months for their renewal to be approved and a new permit issued?

Making the payment is only for that app was "accepted" and the background check begins.

You will get another email when your permit is actually approved.

Seems to be slowing down a bit, but all electronic with LSP fingerprints still looks like the way to go.

Wait Time

Drove my son's application to LASP in early April. He checked on it this past week. They said count on 8 months for new applications. Used to be if you put it in their hands it was processed faster than the mailed applications.

I agree, take the day off, or whatever to get your prints right with your application. Happened on my initial application. For me, it is a three hour drive, one way.

My online renewal took 3 1/2 weeks this summer.

 

[sirbiggstixx]

Took traning class 2 weeks ago.
Completed app last Thursday.
Went in for fingerprints Monday, took about 2 hours, got there around 9:45.
Got email Monday afternoon saying everything was accepted and to make payment.
Got email this morning saying everything was approved and to expect my permit in 10-15 days.

 

[sirbiggstixx]

Also for anyone going to LSP HQ. Get there as early as you can. By lunch, there were 200 people in there for concealed carry waiting for fingerprints. It was ridiculous. They do call people back 5 at a time. As we got closer to lunch they dropped it down to 2 people called back. Took 5 seconds to do the prints, but 2 hours of waiting.

 

[CatCam]

F-ing ridiculous that someone can take the class 2 weeks ago and put in their paperwork at LSP and they get their permit in less than a month -- my sh!t sent in on March 15th and f-ing crickets. Their F-ing system is BROKE. Shouldn't make a difference on how or where they receive the paperwork, they should be sequentially ordered and processed. Bullsh!t process if you ask me.

 

[Surfmonkey]

Got my permit in mail today...total days since submitting less than 30 days...Filed electronically, prints done at LSP HQ...

 

[swampfoxx]

My take on this: If you apply online, get printed at LSP, pay online, everything is already in the system, and gets processed sooner. If you send in anything by mail or even if you drop it off, someone (state employee) has to manually enter everything into the database. The sooner the application is in the database, the sooner it gets processed.

Well, then... if you think its bullsh!t, then by all means don't bother them. You can open carry, you know. That should impress lots of folks, too.

And don't forget to wear a shirt with your "Body Piercing by Glock" (to go with your carry Glock, of course) thing to look even more special.
