@#$%^&*() GRRR!

Less is More!

Uh that only proves not that many folks have guns right?????

 

[JayKay]

Is the climate changing over at the LSP Concealed Handgun Permit Unit? With 67516 permits issued since inception, they choose to mention the one incident involving a permit holder in the "INTRODUCTION" on page 1.

Shenandoah and jones creek have more CHP permits and less crime.

I really thought there would've been more that 67K permits issued.

???
It didn't release names and addresses or anything, what's the problem? It's just demographics/stats and a report on the program in general. It's information the public has a right to, if their government is going to run such a program.

 

[rrussotwo]

I too would have thought the number greater.

 

[LACamper]

I wonder how many application packets have been distributed and not completed...

Did'nt I see where they were blaming the backlog on the over 4,000 per month being received?

Since inception:
67519 Permits
12/31/12 Last report
04/19/96 First Report
203 Months
332 per month

2012:
14020 Permits
12/31/12 Last report
01/01/12 First Report
12 Months
1,152 per month

Something does not smell right here! are they receiving 2,852 applications a month that just Pile up in the corner and get forgotten about? Or are they backing up these 2,852 on top of the 4,000 they received last month. Our permits will likley expire before they get to open the mail! I was told last week when I called about my rewnewal, they have not begun to open mail from March. that could be 12,000 or 20% of the permits ever issued sittting on the floor.

I can't get mine till the beginning of next year and this is exactly why I will be dropping mine off instead of mailing it in

67,500 permits issued, 2400 denials = 3.6% chance of denial. Pretty good odds. I always wondered what the denial rate was, and the report gives, as well, as every reason why they were denied. Pretty good report.

Thanks for the link to the report.

There's a 0% chance of denial if you don't lie or make a clerical error.

I'd bet clerical errors account for 3.5% of those denials.

I talked to a guy a few days ago who overlooked the checkboxes on the military service part of the application. Needless to say his was returned, then resubmitted, and most likely ended up at the back of the line adding additional weeks of waiting.
