Permit renewal time...You gotta love it!

[fiasconva]

I applied for my CHP renewal on Nov 11th. I received my permit in the mail today. That's 20 days including the Thanksgiving holidays. I gave it the customary 90 days before my permit expires so I still have plenty of time. But that ain't bad. York County, VA knows how to do things the right way.

Re-apply?!?!

Here in PA , ya simply go to your county sheriffs office within 60 days of your current license expiring , take a number , wait your turn and in about 20min and $20 , you're good for another 5yrs.

Not bad!

Gotta say, here in AL, I just swing by the Sheriff's Office prior to annual expiration, pay my $10.00 ($7.50 and I spring another $2.50 for lamination) and I'm on my may, usually no more than 5 minutes car to counter and back.

Same here for a PA CC permit...

I mailed my permit Tuesday morning before work. Got a call late Wednesday afternoon my permit was ready for pickup. I picked it up Thursday morning walking out with it 10 min. later.

I was astonished by the speed. I had a permit years ago and thought it took at least two weeks.

For myself, I worry about this renewal issue. As you know in Wisconsin, liberal governor Jim Doyle vetoed CCW twice despite it cleared both houses.

My license says that it's good for five years. As of right now the liberals are trying everything to oust Walker. They even succeeded in a recall effort that failed, and now they are trying to tar him with election campaigning illegalities.

If we get another liberal governor, what would happen if he stated he would allow CCW licensing "until the licenses expired"? Without passing new legislation, would this strategy work?

20 days is really good here in VA. In the northern part of the state near DC it's going to take at least twice that long. They ain't very gun-friendly up there. If you don't get it within 45 days, by state law the maximum wait time, you get issued a temporary permit until yours comes in. It's a pain but a lot of the cities and counties make sure it takes the full 45 day limit before they will issue.

Feel sorry for you guys...
Here In Indiana 100 bucks gets you a Lifetime Carry Permit.
Took about 2 weeks to get mine.

I don't really know how that could play out. I do know they would be throwing revenue away that the state needs, but as backwards as they think, this doesn't surprise me anymore.

I love Indiana, for a one time fee of $120, I never have to worry about permit renewal time.

Question: I too am in the Commonwealth. Does your renewed permit have the date that your existing expires?

Commonwealth of PA or VA?

In PA , ya get 5 years from the actual date that ya renew. If ya renew 20 days before yer old one expires , ya lose 20 days.

Now according to the law , you have 60 days from the date it expires to renew without having to reapply , kinda like a 'grace period' I suppose. I prefer not to test the waters.

Permit has start and end date which are adjusted for the new start date on renewal. You simply mark the application as a renewal not new as was the case for me.

Gotta love

lifetime permits. I also keep my Arizona permit current because it covers states that Indiana does not.

Over here in Williamsburg, Va, I got mine renewed in about 2 weeks and was shocked! They also only charge $25 whereas most of the state is $50! For Va, they are practically handing them out haha.

 

[novalty]

Just sent my renewal in a two weeks ago, certified mail, my original doesn't expire until February, but I didn't want any lapse issues. Maine permits are good for 4 years, the initial one costs $35.00, and renewals cost $20. Took them about 6 or 7 weeks to get my first one to me, wondering how long it will take on the renewal.

 

[fiasconva]

justsumstuff, if you apply 90 days before expiration date on your original permit it renews for 5 years from that date. Does that make sense? I typed it and it doesn't to me. *s* My original expires 2/23/2013 and the renewal expires 2/23/2018. Hope that helps.

In Wyo., we have to reapply to the State and it usually takes around 4 months to get the new permit. Let's just say it isn't high on their priority list. I applied for a non-resident carry permit in Virginia a couple of years ago and was told at the time that it would take about 90 days. I had the permit in two weeks! Very impressive! Those Virginia folks know how to take care of business!

 

[rchance]

I wished we had lifetime federal permits. I had to renew mine this year in KY and it took about 30-40 days.

Great deal....congrats.

Yes, that makes sense & I should have been clearer in my question. fiasconva I understand your statement that the expiration dates are the same. I should have stated that I was talking about start dates and expiration dates, instead of just expiration dates.

I'm in Va. The statute states that the renewed permit starts or takes effect on the date that the original expires. So my question is: If the date the the renewal becomes valid is the same as the original expires, does this mean that you have to keep the original in your pocket until the renewed one goes into effect?

I hope that question is clearer.
