My LTCH wait...

[Pitbullguy81]

Yesterday when I checked the mail there was a package, I thought to myself "my holster got here fast" then... I see my roommates name. As I look through the rest of the mail I see a letter from ISP , then I see pink paper, then... I see my roommates name !!! I did paper prints on Oct.11 2012 and still haven't got my LTCH or a denial letter. Found out the other day my money order was cashed Jan.10 2013. I did have a felony DUI ( I know, dumba** thing to do) converted to a misdemeanor a few years ago, but that didn't stop me from buying four firearms last year, including my first AK-47 . But really.... three months just to cash the MO?? Plus an additional 15-17 week wait after that. This wait is getting very frustrating.

Don't know where I was going this, just a rant I guess....

Wow. I wish there was some kind of sticky thread on this very topic.

By state law, they have 60 days to process your application. Lawyer up and sue them.

At least he's still posting after his 50 posts unlike the majority of this new wave.

How do you get a felony DUI?

Is that like, multiple DUIs, hit and run, etc?

State law gives ISP 24 hours to cash your money order from the time they receive it. My guess is that it was sitting at your local department for three months.

Yay for waiting

Second DUI within 5 years. First one I deserved, I drank way too much to be driving. Second one was bs, I blew the limit, passed the other field test but he still arrested me anyway. I guess because I had a prior DUI. Learned my lesson.

Paid local PD 1/7/2013, received LTCH 3/20, I'm sure ISP doing the best they can.

You blew the limit, but passed field sobriety tests? Why was the dui bs, again?

IIRC the limit (.08) is illegal. You must be below it. Also, field sobriety tests are usually the main evidence, a preliminary breath test is (most always) used only as further proof. Not calling you a liar, but I don't feel like you're telling the whole story. Anyway, glad you have learned your lesson.

I'm thinking a judge didn't quite see it that way. After all, your were arrested THEN CONVICTED.

From what I understand they are swamped with permit apps. Gonna take a while Im glad I got my lifetime before all this hoopla began.

Been there...Once (young and dumb).

I learned my less after the first one though.

I always here people say .08 is the legal limit. Not that it matters, because it's the one at the station that counts, so the time it takes to get there would only help his cause.

Anyway, when I got mine I passed my field sobriety test; the person I had to report to for probation showed me the carbon copy check list. Still got to spend the night in the county hotel.

Mine wasn't BS though, I was way over the legal limit and deserved every bit of my punishment. Now if I'm drinking outside of my home, it's DD or I'll chill here.
