I submitted my application mid December and was told it's taking the full 90 days to recieve the permit. I can't wait for it....
Guess I'll stop holding my breath....
The SBR paperwork will probably be even longer....doh!

Adams county took 83 days to issue mine. I'm an EMT so my fingerprints are already on file with CBI, but it still took that long.

A friend just got his in 73 days from Arapahoe.
Depends on the county....I was told to expect 90 days by Jeffco in early December

Took 87 days for me in Adams county.
60 days from Adams in 2007.
My wife applied since the big rush and they said it's going to run the full 90 or darn close to it.
I called the other day, they told me its been taking 8-9 weeks on average for El Paso....so, I have a few more weeks to go.
94 something days for me to get my first one from Boulder. Had to call them and speak to a superior officer which was easy as the regular girl was gone. He said it had been approved some 25-30 days prior so he didn't understand why I wouldn't have gotten it yet, and said he would get back to me after looking around. He found it sitting on her desk. She just was sitting on it, then decided to go on vacation without sending it.
I think 80 some days for my renewal. Guess that ticket for speeding at 11mph over on a country road three years ago made it questionable if I was still a law abiding citizen.
I don't think that the process actually takes that long. If there is a backlog, sure - but then there is an estimation of time as in El Paso County. Nothing takes "90 days" to the day to approve. Nothing. What is going on is that in some counties an anti gun person has either requested or been placed in the position of approving them, or been directed to hold by an anti gun sheriff. So they are approved, and then sit in the office of said person until they have shown their maximum legal disapproval and send it off.

When I first got mine in Douglas County, they called on the 89th or 90th day to say it was ready. When I renewed last year, it only took about 2 - 3 weeks.
thats f'n lame.. I'm still waiting on my renewal
what if any recourse is available?
El paso county is 4 weeks to get your appointment and 3 to 4 weeks to complete the CBI check.

under 2 weeks for me in Larimer county, that was last Jan though. I know like 6 people that have taken the class recently, but none of them have turned in the paperwork yet?
I think they're sitting on them.
they didn't do anything with mine until a week out from it's expiration and then they didn't call me until the 2nd day after it expired.
I will say that from the time I got the call, I was there and out (and back at work) with my new one in 20min.
Going on 10 weeks, (49 days unless weekends count).....disappointed everytime I get the mail and its not in there.
I'm thinking I'll be waiting a few more weeks & probably won't see it until end of Mayish........
Took 89 days in Jeffco for my wife to get hers and I had to call on the 90th for mine. They didn't know where it was but called me the next day and said come and get it:D
forgot to mention above that they cashed my checks right away [Rant2]

"Mr. Hand, this is Detective So&So with the Denver Police..", FULL pucker, "I'm calling about your CWW application." Ohhh.
Took them two days to call me back and can't get me in till the 5th of May??? Hope they knock it off my 90 day wait... sure.
I was driving when she called and she was saying something about proving residency in Denver, will my car registration work for that? Pay the mortgage electronically, and I can't remember the third proof?

I have my appointment on the 4th of May and that was scheduled early part of last month.
The other form of proof is Property Taxes.
I had my appointment yesterday in Denver. Called ahead of time, and was told to bring something that had recently been mailed to me like a power bill or bank statement.
Asked about the wait time, she said after 90 days they send you a notice, you bring that in with your ID and receive your CCW.

Same for me, I brought in a mailed pay check, a car registration, and a the frickin' notification that my property taxes are going up. I think she coped the property tax thing. Nice lady, the lighting in the place is awful. Finger printing was less messy and easier to clean than I thought.
(Use some moistureizer on your hands before you go, it helps to make the prints better? She had me use some moisturizer when after the first set. Who knew, a free manicure?)
So, after 90 days, they mail something to you. It will be cooler weather before I get back down there.

I got my call today from The Jeffco Sheriff. 85 Days. Of course they called at 4:12 and the hours for pickup are 8a to 4p so I will have to wait until tomorrow but I am stoked!
I just had my renewal appointment today in Denver County. My permit expires 8/2/09, lets see if I get my renewal before that. There were a few new questions this time around though. First, I had to show a few more items for proof of residence (I brought 5 different things and they took their pick). Secondly, they asked if the CCW course that I took had live fire or not. I have heard that there has been some issues with this around the state.
Only took 2 weeks from the time I called for the appointment til the date they gave me. Not too bad.
Update: Received my letter yesterday 7/10/2009 to go pick up my renewal. So, the wait time was not too bad for my renewal 5/28/2009 to 7/10/2009 Denver County.

I went down to Castle Rock early last year to submit my renewal, at least 60 days before my old permit expired.
The deputy that took my prints and my renewal application/check was nice and said that the sheriff would get around to signing my CCW renewal when he had time.
When I got back to my office I had a voicemail from that same deputy informing me that my new permit was signed, laminated and ready to pick up.
So, Douglas county has same-day turnaround on renewals....at least in my experience.

Got mine in 60 days (to the day) in Pueblo.
My folks had to wait about 3 weeks for their renewals...

Note: Jeffco actually requests that you go in any other day than Tuesday or Thursday (the days they accept applications). I went in on a Monday to pick up mine, and was in and out in less than 15 minutes. [WooHoo]
Just got my permit from Denver. 51 days can you believe that!![Beer]
Just got my permit yesterday and only took 61 days. This is for El paso county.

Was that for renewal or for a new permit? I went in a week or so after you so here's to me toasting soon too. I thought Denver never did less than 90 days?
Adams renewal - 88 days. Glad I went early.
Permit. Hopefully yours is soon.

63 Days and counting :(
I knew I should have taken donuts.
UPDATE: Got the letter today. Wife finally figured out why I was getting a letter from the police and I didn't look worried. Nice that you can just go pick it up and not have to go thru the whole appointment and t-th thing. Glad I put off working out today, gotta run downtown quick.

Wife has a worried look on her face and brings me a letter from the police department ;)
Skinny letter, approved, come pick it up. Wife knows that I applied for it, but I think she has forgotten. I can't come up with a lie fast enough, and she figures out what it is, hard not to crack a smile.
64 days, not bad. Holster came on Monday.

No time table for Weld, however I think the CCW rush is over, still higher volume apps but the actual rush seems to be over. Myself and several others i've talked to, received ours in less than 2 months as opposed to the full 90 days it was taking for awhile there.

Is the law 90 24 hour days, or 90 business days?
Still waiting.....

I got my CCW in about 45 days, it was pretty fast and I was impressed. After about thirty I was checking the mail each day saying "I wonder if it's finally here" and then it was. I was a very happy camper.

Sheriff Terry Maketa has my vote. What an awesome advocate for Concealed Carry.
I can't say the same for that !#$%% Colorado Springs Police Department - Chief Richard W Myers.
Jackson County GA mailed in six days. Probably not recognized by interstate authorities.

Once you become a Colorado resident, your GA. license is not honored in CO. If you are just "visiting" then CO honors your GA. license.

Had a training session with a student this morning. He received the call from Douglas Co SO saying his permit was ready. 3 weeks and 1 day from when he turned in the application. Not too shabby!
We are here for good (having lived here 15 years with a 3 yr hiatus to care for aging parents)
I think GA CCL fee was $30 good for 5 years.
JeffCo is $100!!
Whoa nelly! [Rant1]
Does the 90 day wait include weekends and holidays, or does it only count business days?

90 calendar days, includes weekends, holidays, and furlough days.
Why does everyone run to Wally World after they get their CCW?

I dunno, it's just the thing to do - but you've gotta pick one that has a McDonalds in it and order some food then sit and eat it there.

Thank You.
My buddy just got the quickest turn around I have ever heard of. 13 days from turn in, to the call to come in a get his pic taken for the card and pick it up!!!

It's amazing how the time for issuance of the permit varies so greatly from county to county.
On the other hand, CO seems pretty good when compared to UT. I'm a UT BCI Instructor and it took 5 months to get my permit. That seems to be about the average wait. When they sent the permit to me, it included a letter that said the permit was issued conditional upon a favorable FBI background/fingerprint check. So that wasn't even completed yet!
I haven't heard anything since so I guess everything's OK.
What county was this in?
This was in Weld county. Awesome Sheriff by the way! John Cooke is very pro second! The lady told my buddy when he picked it up, it was one of the fastest she ever remembers processing.
Edit - Meant ACSO (Arapahoe County)
Arapahoe County - 45 Days.
hmm... just got mine switched to El Paso county from another state... less than two weeks! Don't hate...
