Lifetime permit today...

[All_Clear]

15 weeks... there must be a lot of people applying. I wonder if it's due to the new leadership in DC or the current state of society?

Yeah there are alot... and to answer your "I wonder questions" YES!!!
(D) all of the above.

I applied the second week of December and mine just arrived today. About 10 weeks, not too bad, only two weeks longer than they told me.

Anyone know how long a non-expired renewal conversion to a lifetime takes?

 

[GSquared]

Non expired renewal

I applied for my Lifetime permit on 2/5/09 and my current permit is not expired until June.

I just received the new Lifetime License to Carry a Handgun today, 4/1/09.

Just under 2 months.

Good Luck!!!

I'm willing to bet these long delays were due to a combination of fear that Obama would magically ban all guns immediately after the inauguration with his antichrist powers and just a bunch of people having the cash from Christmas to pay for the LTCH application.

Reading the other LTCH wait thread, it seems like that is starting to clear up and people are waiting 8 weeks or less.

I was in the first group of people. I applied for mine at the end of October and didn't receive it in until about mid Feb. I wish I would have read here first instead I signed and had mine laminated before making copies, etc.

I will have to say for something so important and expensive, I was actually shocked to see how cheap and filmsy it was...just a peice of pink paper. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wouldn't it just make sense that for something so important and all the finger printing they do that the dang thing would be as durable as your driver's license?? Or am I just being silly.

Well 40 days and no sign yet maybe she said fourty-eight weeks not 4 to 8

Haha either way nothing yet. I'll post the day it arrives. And we plan on making copies.

Look at the other thread, you're probably looking at another 20 days at least

I'm probably not going to have the $$$ to get the lifetime until well after my current one expires. Oh well.

Honestly i say just spring for the lifetime right before the 4 yr runs out. It's going to save you $$$ in the long run. Look at it as an investment not as an out of pocket expense.
