Applied Jan 13th. They said so many are applying that it will take 120 to 160 days to process. I was surprised that I got it in less than 2 months

Welcome to the club

I have no doubt that more and more people are getting theirs. The range that I took my class at is just across the road from my house, a year ago they would have one maybe two classes a month. Now they have one and sometimes two classes a week, makes me feel good every time I hear 'em shootin.

Most excellent! For the first few weeks you will be very safe-then you may take it for granted--review safety! Take a look at how you are handling your pistol and make an effort to improve your safety posture. Do that periodicaly and you won't have an accident. Also-watch 'em at gun shows-all the macho-unsafe goofs that will point a gun at you.

Be dedicated and carry whenever you can. If you find yourself slacking, get a gun you can always carry.

florida received my application march 3 09.contacted them on may 15 09 and they said they where just starting january's applications.For some odd reason I got my finger print card back with an error on it may 17 09.Corrected the problem that day and put in the mail.On may 26 09 I called to verify they received my print card and was told they are now 6 weeks behind on opening the mail.Hopefully what I thought would take 60-90 days doesn't take 6 months.Is anyone else running into this problem?gunnut2

Congratulations ajaxx!
What gun do you intend to carry? Gun,load,Holster, etc.
Practice as much as you can and carry as much as you can.

They recieved my application the same time as yours, and I havent recieved a thing either, but I will bet they already cashed our application fee checks.

I carry a Colt Defender .45 with Crimson Trace grips in a DeSantis mini slide holster cocked and locked with 230gr Gold Dot JHP

My Son and I applied last year. We were told it would take 120 days to receive license, we received them on day 120.

packin-heat:I had a problem with no signature on finger print card from sheriffs dept.Hopefully since you haven't heard anything they are processing you already.Good luck!I know I have longer to wait.If the 120 day rule applies,It could be nice to celebrate my right to carry on the 4th of july.gunnut2

Congrats. It's almost time to renew mine.

Countryboy: Let me warn you, Georgia does not "renew" anymore. Each and every time you go back in, it is just like the first time, a Money order, cash, plus you must have a certified copy of your Birth Certificate, and lots of patience. My fingerprint card was not clear enough to suit, so 5 weeks after making application, I got it back, told to get a new fingerprint card, and re submit. Did so, and 7 months after originally submitting, got my license. Advise you to go in at least 6 and maybe 8 weeks early, as it does take time now.
