The average CCW issue time?

[mguidry629]

Dropped mine off 12/28 and received it 2/8/13....so about 40 days.

im waiting, mailed mine with jpso digital fingerprints on 1-10-13 wish there was a way to check status

 

[BeerManNOLA]

I just dropped my paperwork in the mail on January 22nd, so I am not expecting it back just yet. I did not do the digital fingerprint thing. Hopefully, with all the crazy around the country regarding gun ownership, my paperwork will not be delayed any more than is normal. I guess only time will tell.

Application arrived 11/21/12 (Overnighted 11/20)
Permit issued 2/1/13

I mailed mine from Shreveport 12/17/2012, Today is Feburary 18 2013. I called they said they entered my application into the system on January 31st, and it would be 90-120 days from the 31st.

 

[andimthejr]

Anyone waiting recieve theirs lately?

 

[mforsta]

Dropped mine off 2-11-13 at the LSP in Baton Rouge and did the digital finger prints there. Was told it would be between 90-120 days due to the backlog. My son did his in November and get it in about 3 weeks.

Mine took 2-3 weeks if I remember. Probably closer to two because I remember being surprised at how quick it was. However, I delivered mine to the LSP HQ myself at the same time I got finger printed.

 

[BeerManNOLA]

I just called to verify my application had been received and the lady said it had not been received as yet. I put my completed application in the mail on January 22 and they have not received it as yet. The lady did say they were running about a month behind and had about 20 buckets of mail to get through.

If you have the opportunity, definitely go to the LSP HQ and do a drop off.

I guess I will stop secretly hoping its in the mail when I check it every day, while really hoping my Dillon catalogue is in the mail. No sight of either one so far.

Update from earlier post: dropped of 1/15 received back 3/01. Good luck

 

[BeerManNOLA]

Well, when I called about 10 days ago, they had still not received my application. I called back today and in only a mere 7 weeks, they have received my application and are now processing it. Mary told me it would likely be about 60 days until I receive my permit. Well, happy birthday to me in May I guess.
I'm actually not upset about the wait, just thought I'd share my timeline for those of you still waiting. If my processing truly does take 60 days, my wait will have been 109 days from mailing it to receipt.

 

[Dishonored]

Dropped of jan/16th entered jan/31st
Still processing as of march/12th

 

[BeerManNOLA]

If the timing I got today is also correct for you, you should have your permit in a couple of weeks. Good luck waiting for it.

The closer the date gets, the worse the waiting is.

i dropped mine off the same day. have you recieved yours yet

 

[ldn0125]

I was with someone today that submitted their permit application at the end of January and received their permit in today's mail - approximately 6 weeks.

No I haven't received mine yet. Is there a way to check on line for the status?

 

[Northshoreboar]

I dropped mine off at the state police headquarters in BR on 2/22/13 and had my fingerprints scanned there. I wonder if they have officially "received" my application yet. Is the processing time quicker when you drop it off or is the only difference the mail time?

 

[BeerManNOLA]

The processing time seems to be quicker with a drop off and digital print taken. At least that seems to be the story with people posting in this thread, and I have no reason to doubt them. However, I myself had to resort to the mail as I had to work and wouldn't have been able to make it to LSPHQ for a few weeks to do any sort of drop off.

 

[Cooterbrown]
