First of all, its not a cc permit, it is a License To Carry a Handgun (LTCH)...
My friend had been waiting awhile for his permit to come back. We called to inquire about it and was told it is taking longer than normal because of an increase in applications since the lifetime was going to be discontinued. Could be some merit behind it. Our call was about a week or week and a half ago.
the lifetime was going to be discontinued.
