My brother just got his CCW in Jeffco by using competitive shooting instead of taking a class. Over all he only had to pay the $102 and it only took about two weeks since he paid. He originally submitted a few weeks earlier (right before Thanksgiving) and they called him to tell him no one has ever submitted that way and they weren't sure if it was allowed. He told them that it is listed as an option, and as the FIRST option on the website, so they better figure it out. He got it in the mail today.
87 days in El Paso. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt because I’ve had a lot of addresses in the last 10 years, but Texas got it done in 4 weeks just a couple years ago. Kind of a bummer because I had heard EPSO was a lot quicker than that not long ago.
My DougCo renewal was three weeks on the nose.
They sent the letter/form/reminder in June for a permit to expire in Sept. I appreciated that and think it's a good policy--make sure everyone is covered. But then they took only three weeks.
Guess I haven't raised enough hell the last five years! Everyone was really nice too.
Submitted my renewal the first week of June. Still waiting.
Jeffco renewal...applied for renewal 7/29 new permit arrived today 8/14
[Mad]....
I just renewed my Utah non-resident permit online. Took 6 business days from submission to arriving in my mailbox.
Mine took almost twice that long...10 whole days!Quote:

Day - 63 today. Still no permit. Initial application not a renewal. Larimer county.
Day 64 was the magic number!
Finally got around to the training class. El Paso County CHP applications are by appointment only. I made my appointment yesterday for February 9th (71 days). Afterwards starts the 90 day wait. So ~160 days total. Sometimes procrastinating doesn't pay off.
El Paso County is playing games with "90 days".
I got the renewal package form the Sherriff's office and immediately turned it around.
My check was cashed over a month ago.
Called them this morning because my permit expires this Sunday, October 31st.
I won't get my permit for about another two or more weeks, bringing the number of days to about 110.
Their explanation? "We didn't start processing it until August 13th, and it's up to 90 days from when we start processing it." - that's about two weeks after I sent it in.
So I guess any county can just stop processing permits, and they can delay them forever.*
I'm pretty steamed.
So, word to the wise: DO NOT wait for the Sherriff's packet to arrive, pull the forms yourself from the web page, fill them out and file them 120 days in advance.

*My memory says there was some court case about this, not for CHP permits but for something else. If anyone can think of it, I'd appreciate a pointer.
================================================== =====
Follow up:
Later the day I called them, the Sherriff's office called back and the woman said she had just seen my name on one of the cards that was being mailed that day.
Kudos for that!
Card arrived the day before the previous card expired. A bit too close for comfort in my book. I'd still recommend pulling the renewal documents yourself and getting it in early for EL Paso County - they're running right up against the 90 days.

Follow-up: Later in the day after my post #173, above, the Sherriff's office called me back to tell me that my permit was being mailed that day. The person I had talked to in the morning happened to have remembered my name and it jogged her memory when she saw it among the permits.
Kudos for her calling. Permit arrived the 30th, the day before my pervious permit expired. Talk about cutting it close.
Still, I stand by my suggestion of getting in your renewal 120 days in advance for El Paso county.

Douglas County - submitted my renewal October 28. Just received my email to pick it up today. 13 days. On top of that they dropped their fee for veterans, so cost was only $13 for the background check.
Yea, the only good thing Spurlock did was drop the fee for Vets. Then championed the red flag law so he can take guns without probable cause.Quote:

They said 4-6 weeks but I'm hoping they turn it around sooner.
Agree on Spurlock. The other cool thing he did was retain the original permit numbers for the first 250 permits handed out by the county. I think 4-6 weeks is there standard estimate for approval. Guessing the volume determines how long. I would guess you’ll have it back before then unless the fact that it expired adds more time. I cannot imagine that would cause it to take much longer.
She told the 2 before me the same, so expiration only gets a $ penalty AFAIK.Quote:

Renewed in Adams County back in January, with a permit out of Jeffco getting ready to expire. Walked out with my new permit on the spot.
Renewal...
In and Out in Arapahoe County in 1 hour tops.
-John
Renewed through the mail. took two months. And then another month after it expired.
Wife and I renewed in Arapahoe County yesterday around 3:30pm and left with renewed Permits in less than 20min. Granted we were the only ones there.
Jefferson County renewal .... 83 days + 4 days to receive in the mail
I just renewed in JeffCo too. The new permit looks like a kid made it in his basement. The old one had holographic overlay, professional printing, etc. New one is a piece of plastic, no overlay or any other security features and the printing is horrendous. Plus, they stretched the aspect ratio on my picture so I look about 100lbs fatter than I really am.
This is my third renewal, first online. JeffCOs 90 days is up July 7th, just received my issued email today July 3rd. Seems like my out of state Utah permit took less than a month, Jefferson County computers need help. I can see how a new permit may take 90 days if they want to, but why so long on a renewal? We do half the work for them by entering the info online.
The new JeffCo Sheriff is not a friend of people like us.Quote:

To give you an idea of who is leading the department now, the new Sheriff brings her wiener dogs with her everywhere... sometimes in a stroller.
Boulder County CHP renewal application submitted May 22 (before June 30 expiration). Notified of approval June 9, with permit received by mail on June 15. 13 business days until approval included a 3 day delay for additional address documentation; 24 days total.
Permit showed up today, July 8th.Quote:

Nope, I'm in line just like the rest. My permit expired a few days ago as I was not expecting this shit to take so long. Moving at the speed of the Govt.
I asked the lady that answered my call about carrying while waiting for my permit and after my current permit expires, she said you can’t, legally, even if my paperwork’s been submitted before it expires, yep.Quote:

My wife failed to renew before her permit expired so she took the class put on by the Elbert Cty. Sheriff's and she went in to do her prints and submitted her forms for background on Sat. July 8th and got the call on Tuesday. July 11th that her permit was ready to pickup.
kudos to Adams Co. My permit expired ( who knew a month in advance was not early enough to get an appointment?) Got there 20 min before my allocated block of appointment time started. Was finished and walking out with my new permit in my wallet 5 min after the time slot started. Even with the State mandated late fee my vet. discount took it back down to 38 dollars, AND the nice lady made me smile for the picture. Prob the first ID card pic I've had in 20 years I'm smiling.
I'd like to give the guys here credit. I submitted my application on July 20 and received my permit August 7. The permit was dated August 1. Used to be, the sheriff's department would give you a call before mailing it. Mail here usually travels to Albuquerque first. I figure that's eleven days.
I was a dummy and my Arapahoe County permit expired.
Dropped of my packet last Thursday and just got a call the my new permit is ready. I'm happy with a turnaround of five business days. :)
My Jeffco issued permit renewal too pretty much exactly 90 days to get to me.
I’ll be interested to see how long a new application takes, I got my permit back in 2012 from Arapahoe County and never renewed it. Last time I applied it was standing room only in there and if it didn’t show up at 7am when the doors opened you weren’t getting your application in that day. 3+ hour wait to get printed and sign everything as well…it was a nightmare. And then it was the full 90 days to get my permit to boot.
This time? I went on 9/5 around 11am, and was in and out inside of 10 minutes. We’ll see how long the permit takes to arrive though. It can’t be slower than my damn passport though.
Just got the call that my permit is ready...10 days for a NEW application. Right on, Arapahoe County.Quote:
