Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Wait Time (Adams Co.)?
Anyone know how long it takes Adam's County to process a permit? I'm more or less just curious.
ETA: It takes 60 days for those wondering.
Thanks

I got mine in April of 05 from Adams County. I don't recall what the limit is they have to complete the background check but it was two weeks before that. I actually called them to find out the status and they told me I could come in a pick it up. Results may vary. Very nice people there.
If you served in the millitary be sure to take in you DD-214 REGARDLESS if your using for proof of training or not. They will want to see it.
Best of luck!

I went in today, and one of the first things they asked is if i was former military, so seems as though they do want the DD-214. Since i'm not military, not sure what they would have said if i didn't had it.
I got there right on the stroke of 9am to be the first one there, and i guess they open at 8am, and i was third in line. Took the first dude about 30 minutes, the second guy 20 and myself about the same. She said they take about 60-90 days, but they're usually around the 60 day mark, and to call in anytime i want for a status.
My CCW instructor is from the Springs and he said their Sheriff is pro gun, and issues within about 2 weeks (i'm sure that'll go up with the recent shooting).
Guess i'll be carrying around March of next year.
I'm considering my CCW from Adams Co, but hesitating till I gather the details concerning the criminal database that we get entered into.
Anyhow, I have heard the reason for the Dd-214 is to speed up the process.
And I'll take a gander and say that it shows honorable or dis-honorable discharge. The latter which may dis-qualify you for a CCW.
The Sheriff's Office told me 60-90 days.
My .02 cents
Mine took one month. Just got it a couple of days ago.
I think the DD214 check is for type of discharge.
A month? Nice.Originally Posted by libertyrules
I actually called them today, i applied 2.5 weeks ago and they hadn't cashed my check, so i just wanted to know if they held that until i picked up or what. She said they normally cash them the Friday of your application, but with the holidays they hadn't gotten around to it (what, they just took 2 weeks off or something?). Anyhow, she reminded me once again it'll be 60-90 days, so i'm not counting on that month time.
Sucka, I forgot to mention that I got mine in Bent County - not a lot of applicants here, I don't think.
lol.....you got me all excited there for a second. When i applied, there was 4 other people ahead of me, and i showed up right at 9am on Tuesday, one of 2 days they accept a week. I don't know how many applicants they get, but with 4 in just an hour span, i'm gonna bet a good number. I'm not really in any "hurry" but it would be nice to just get it. As good as the laws are here in CO regarding carry, the fees and wait time are pretty ridiculous for some of us.
Ha - sorry Sucka, I haven't been living in Colorado very long - only since end of August. I called the sheriff, and he said oh, yeah, it's here... come on down and we'll get it done. He's actually a nice guy. When I got there I had to wait for the deputy to take everything out of a box and set it up - LOL.
I know the wait is - uncomfortable, to say the least. But it's worth it
And Karl, acronyms are useful only if the person you're trying to insult knows what they mean - see if you can figure this one out: GFY
Hmm. ok, the picture above is a S&W 649, .357 mag Stainless Steel - if it's not a hand cannon, it'll have to do. With the humpback design, it ain't real pretty, but it gets the job done. For concealed carry, the shrouded hammer was the deciding factor, and I carry it everywhere I go.
