Mine in Ohio was 10 or 12 working days.............but I think that was because of Thanksgiving. In Ohio they have 45 days to complete the process.
Happy CC!
Just curious...how long did it take to actually 'get' your CC permit after all the information was turned in to your local Sheriff's dept (or wherever you had to turn it in)? I live in NC and they stated it can take up to 90 days....what actually takes this long if you have no criminal background? Again, I am a newby so please excuse me if there is another thread related to this subject already.

Here in Indiana, the process is as simple as going to the police station and bringing the fee with you in the form of a money order, as well as postage stamps, cash for the notary, and identification. While there, you get fingerprinted and fill out the form, and that's all. When I did this for my 4-year permit in 2004, I got my permit in the mail later that month. When I applied for the lifetime LTC in 2008, it took a little longer, about a month and a half.

While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.
I believe it was 6-8 weeks, which was faster than what I was told to expect (up to 12 weeks?). This was in Michigan in the Fall of 2009.
At the time that I applied (to the local county sheriff's department), I was told that there were so many applications that the current staff could not keep up--at all levels of government (county, state of Michigan, and FBI for criminal background check)--therefore wait times to receive the permits was taking up to 12 weeks for my county.
If you live in a shall-issue state, basically it all depends on how efficient your state's issuing authority can process the application. Some states are more backlogged than others. South Carolina was running realy slow for a while, but apears to have gotten through their backlog.

Resident SC 110 Days, Fla NON RES 93 days BUT this was while the BIG RUSH was on. Both States have improved to about 30 days from what I've been reading here.
