"Back in March" isn't that long ago. It will take a couple of months, especially with the recent exponential increase in applications.

When I got my FL permit it was less than 2 weeks. With the new Pres. they have been swamped with applications. Think I read last year alone applications equaled the previous 5 years combined.

They will come through

If I remember correctly when I sent my paperwork in a few years ago they said it could take up to six months but I had it in approx three.

There are problems with the number of applicants here in Paradise. Too many applications, too few application checkers.

I have students from December who haven't received their permits yet.

The Statute, though, gives the state only 90 days to approve or disapprove an application.

As I understand it, they are so far behind that when 90 days passes, they simply do a records check (NCIC/FCIC) and, if there is no record, put the application in the "Issue" stack and don't even check the fingerprints.

So, the application is "approved" at that time.

Then all that you wait for is the actual making of the permit with your photo. A little over 4 months total "they" say (at this time).

If I remember correctly it took my Florida permit a little over 90 days to arrive. It was one of the slowest ones. Pennsylvania and Maine were also very slow. Alabama, Connecticut, and New Hampshire were very fast. Alabama took less than a week. New Hampshire took less than 2 weeks and Connecticut was less than a month.
