[...]I have already filed all of my paperwork and just waiting for the processing to complete.

Am I, or am I not, able to legally carry at this point in time?

Thank you for all of the answers I am sure this question generate, And I hope this helps others to be clearer on this issue.

I wonder what the hold up is.

The hold up is Don Barnes took office this year.

No. An expired permit is EXPIRED. You cannot legally carry concealed without a valid permit.

Well, this is frustrating. I'm starting to wonder if I'll get my renewal before mine expires (early August). I started the process in early June, sent in everything the day I applied, except for the training certificate, which I got and set in about two weeks later. It's still sitting at "assigning to processor shortly...". If they needed more time then they should be telling people to apply for renewal earlier. As I understand it the system won't even let you apply for renewal earlier than 90 days before expiration.

When I contacted them some months ago to report an interaction with an LEO, the reply came the same day. More recently, a similar report took more than a month to generate a reply. Possibly they are busy. If they are issuing 8000 permits in a year, plus handling renewals— they issued some 7300 permits in 2017, which now need to be reprocessed for renewal— they could be dealing with 50-60 permits on a regular business day.

Oops...I did say August, my mistake it's September. I actually did it 88 days before expiration. Don't know why I was thinking August. OK, feel a little better then I have a month more then I was thinking. Carry on...

You just have to wait. My license expired on July 17th. Eventually they'll get to it.

Hey all,

Just some quick status on my experience. (New CCW license, NOT renewal)

I started beginning of April 2019. Additional documents were requested and submitted 4/26. In between this time, I got the livescan, ccw training, et. I just got approval today 7/30. All in all, I think this took about 90-115 days including some time I spent gathering paperwork. It was somewhat of a delay, but finally got it.

Additionally, the email notification I received now mentions that starting Sept 1. you must get an appointment to pick up the license:

"As of September 1, 2019, the CCW Licensing Unit will be implementing an appointment system for license pick-ups and will no longer allow Licensees to show up to the CCW Unit at 320 N. Flower Street without an appointment. If your license is not picked up by that date, CCW staff will contact you to make an appointment."

I'm obviously going to get mine in person asap, but wanted you all to get a heads up. Thank you for your help calguns.

Yeah, that's what I don't want to happen if it can be avoided. Murphy's Law says that the time you will need you firearm will most likely be during that "dead time" between when your permit expires and when it is renewed. I know Murphy's right too, he's my lawyer, or at least he must be. I must have him on retainer as his law seems to apply quite often in my life.

Murphy carries, too. She won't admit it, but she does. (or is she a he)?
