    I recieved my permit approved email about 2 weeks ago and paid immediately by credit card. Got a confirmTion email a minute or so later. How long does it take to actually get the permit after payment? Will it come in the mail?

    Call me crazy, I've noticed since our last election in state and the resulteD tally of votes ( emphasis on he D ) that the permits have been plagued with issues.
    Wait times, people getting held up, etcetera

    This is the email my wife got on May 31st after we paid online for the renewal:

    Application for Concealed Handgun Permit submitted on 5/2/2016 8:17:00 AM was APPROVED.
    You may not carry a concealed weapon until you receive your permit. You will receive your permit in the U.S. Postal Service mail within 10-15 business days.


    That was 24 business days ago. She called the number in the email after 20 days and got a fabulous response from somebody speaking less than proper English, and with all the ghetto attitude we have come to know and love from your typical government worker, saying it takes 30-60 days. My wife tried to bring up that the email stated 10-15 days, but that went about as well as expected.

    In the end, this is the government you are dealing with, so anywhere from 2-4 times the stated time frame should be expected.

    Submitted electronically...they want me to send in my two finger print cards. Is all I send them is the two cards in an envelope or do I send something with them so they can maybe match them with my application? Just doesn't seem like that is all I have to do...The fact that they requested my finger prints, is that an indication that they "approved" the electronic app and only need the prints to make it approved? Hard to get info from them...

    I'm all paid up and approved. Just waiting on the actual permit to be mailed. It's been three weeks and nothing yet. Applied in February approved in June. Still waiting.

    If you can go to State Police Headquarters in Baton Rouge and do your prints, GO!!!
    I submitted my app online. Local PD did my finger prints and I mailed them the next day. Took over 4 months to inform me that the fingerprints I submitted were no good and to resubmit.
