Douglas Co. update

[zzzippper]

The Douglas Co. Sheriff only accepts application Tuesday - Thursday. They open at 9am and process until 4pm unless they get a large number of applicants that day and they cut off early.

I got there at 1030 and there were 14 names ahead of me. They estimate 15 minutes per applicant so I was looking at a 3 1/2 hour wait. I signed in and went to lunch at Blackeyed Peas (don't bother). I returned at 1145 and almost exactly an hour later they called my name at 1245. By 1pm I was in the car driving home.

I was told to expect a full 90 days wait. They have had 150 new applicants in the last eight days of accepting applications. All 14 of the people ahead of me were new applicants.

I know someone who submitted it with them in January took 8 weeks one day. 4 hour wait to submit it

I filed my renewal over Christmas break.
Still waiting to hear. This Sunday is over 90 days for me, hopefully I get a call next week at the latest!

I ended up going march 5th and I waited for about an hour. They said the rush was slowing down, and that i should expect 90 days. When I got my picture taken the lady said that it probably wont take 90 days but they are saying that as a worse case scenario. Ill keep you updated as to when I get my call.

Why does it take longer than a background check? Printing a card and laminating it takes longer than a background check.

I applied 8 Jan, it too 3 hours. It was approved on 22 March. I picked it up on 26 March, it took 5 minutes. A friend went there two days ago and the application only took 20 minutes, three people in from of him.

I went yesterday, less than 30 minutes. But I do know where the ammo is. While waiting, they pulled out a wagon that had at least 30 boxes of .223 Federal ammo.
