I have not heard about a 4-6 month background check from DOJ. Has anybody else heard of that? I have heard 8 weeks. I was planning on checking with the S/o after 90 days...

[jkody]

Yes, the live scan comes back usually within a day or so but, any discrepancies have to be manually reviewed by a live person @ DOJ then sent on to the SO. If you have a record, it will be manually reviewed by DOJ first to compile then sent to the SO for review.

[BigSig]

And if there isn't a record or descrepcies then what? That can't be 4-6 months...

Congrats. .

I see thr sheriff this afternoon. Will update after.

Good luck, be honest and relax. We may not see eye to eye on his policies, but Sheriff Moore is a nice enough guy.

[BigSig]

Being the Sheriff in a poor county during the great recession would not be easy!

[mbz dr]

I will be honest as im always am. But what make me scratch my head is I have meet him before when he denied me for lack of good cause back when he did not approve for self defense why again ???.
Any how off I go to meet him at 330. .

So, on a side note... In addition to the costs of getting our license to carry concealed, did anybody budget for the new wardrobe changes to accompany the new carry?

[slipknot95758]

I ended up buying a few dickies work shirts nice and long to cover. All my thirty didn't give me enough to feel comfortable when bending or squating Or sitting in a chair. I'm a big guy though 6 ft 280lbs

[mbz dr]

I was in with sheriff about 30min going over specific of past incident. This was my 3rd time meeting with him yet im still not sure if I convinced him to give me a chance or not. He say I will hear back from him I hope it will be good for me. Oh and make sure you have the exact change when you pick up your permit. Had to help some one barow $10 because he only had $20 bills. They dont have change.. good luck to all. Will update if approved or denied. .

Did he ask you if you knew most officers are shot with their own gun

Picked up | May 28th Initial

Picked up today, no restrictions.

As suspected, the pick up took a little longer than others had mentioned per my own case...they forgot to take my picture during my initial interview back in May. Once they figured out how to get the picture printed, it was sign, thumbprint, laminate....boom: CCW holder. Even with the picture delay, I was in-and-out of there in about 25 minutes.

During this time, 4 others came in to pick up, 1 was renewing, and there were about 3 phone calls which sounded like appointments being made. Again, this is my interpretation, but based on the phone conversation the young gentleman was having, it sounds like they were scheduling middle ~feb. appointments.

Good luck to everyone, hold the course; it was an 8 mo. wait for me but worth it in the end. Stay safe.

Yes he did mention that. Hope will hear good news soon.
