I can't be the only one!

I applied for my CCW about 1 1/2 years ago and it took just as long then. NM isn't doing you any favors when it comes to issuing the license quickly.

Hey Ziggy!

Don't feel all alone as there are quite a few people in New Mexico who carry concealed each day. You just can not tell who they are as to the average individual they are invisable, unless trouble arises, then they are not the ones running away in a panic.

Another from Alamogordo. My CCW is taking forever as well. Dont even THINK about it for at least 90 days. Called them and they said 100+ because so many people are applying and there is only two people working on BG checks.

Any of you southern NM'ins shoot IPSD, IDPA, or USPSA?

Another issue about that license...if they run up against anything in your background check that has to be further researched, it takes eternity. There was nothing on mine, and I got my license in 6 weeks, but my husband had an old misdemeanor offense which, if I remember, more than doubled the time while they checked those records. They were pretty friendly when we called once to check on the status.
At least it made checking the mail exciting!

I too am a citizen of New Mexico. I'm in Santa Teresa, just outside of
El Paso.

WWW.handgunlaw.us has a notice that the CCW forms have changed in New Mexico.

I looked, but could not see any difference. Anyone else see the difference?

[Ziggy]

That's identical to the form I filled out in April...

Albuquerque - must be lots of us here. Calibers' indoor range alone trains 40 people a month (20 per class). Not all apply for CCW licenses, but I imagine
most do. They teach a great course that I would recommend to anyone! :)

They are lurking in florida .

Ziggy - another NM CCW signed up for this site. Hard to find and take part in all of the potential specialty sites, and I just found this one. I signed up partly because of the individual state threads. We do need to have an active NM CCW site, but this one does seem to fit the bill at present. I doubt I will be able to check this one every day, but will try.

Hey fellas. Thought I'd say hi really quick. I just found this site after the other one wasn't there anymore. I guess that makes 5 of us. I'll let some of my friends know about this place.
