Update on my Non resident CCW:
Called today and was told that it was mailed out this past Tuesday. Only took them 114 days.... YEP!!!!! 114 DAYS to process my application. Seems to me that is wayyyyyyy too long. But at least I know it is on its way to me.
That is disheartening.. I mailed mine August 8, 2015, got the confirmation letter back on August 19th. I guess I am looking at Christmas before getting mine back.. They have no respect for non residents!!
AS of today, it was 90 days since they mailed me a confirmation letter, telling me it would be 90 days... LOL If you want a Virginia non resident CC, don't expect them to keep their word.. My question remains, if they have this much of a back-log, they are making a lot of money, why not hire some HELP???
I sent my package out on Sept 8th. Today is Dec 5th and still nothing.
I live in Missouri and the law here is very reasonable. Right now if you want a CCW you just need to take a safety class (8hrs.) pay $100. and pass a background ck and bam you got it.
Just curious - would you consider that a very reasonable law if you had to go through those hoops to legally attend the church of your choice? Post on the internet? Prevent a police officer from stopping your vehicle on the highway to search your vehicle? Why are these laws very reasonable when they only apply to 2nd Amendment and not equally to the 1st or 4th Amendments - or, heaven forbid, to voting?
I applied August 7 and still have not heard a thing. You still have a month plus to go, plus some. Frustrating I know. The letter I got back on August 17 said 90 days. Looks to me like even if you are non resident , they would still be held to some standard.I sent my package out on Sept 8th. Today is Dec 5th and still nothing.
DAY 114~ NO PERMIT
I called them at the number on the receipt. All they will tell me is that they are two weeks behind. Two weeks?? I am 23 days past the 90 days and they now say it will be two more weeks before they issue my permit. Guys, Virginia SUCKS!!! If you want a non resident CCW, I highly suggest you apply in Utah or some other state because Virginia gets your money then do not care how long it takes them to do what you paid them to do..
I will post again with an update, probably next year when they do their job and issue my permit..
Only if you choose to be a victim and disarm untill your permission slip arived. In that event, it's your own fault.72 days is unacceptable. In that time you and your family could be raped and killed a million times over.
Sometimes the only civil choice is to become a criminal.Try to remember this is all necessary to keep criminals from carrying guns......right? Or is it to keep law abiding citizens from carrying guns?
Chances are they're not particularly concerned with keeping their word to out-of-staters. If they break their word, you can't vote to hold them accountable. You aren't likely to go there in person to file complaints etc., and even if you do they'll just say they're doing the best they can with overtime and personnel cutbacks, and dagnabbit, we try hard but we're only human blah blah blah.
Probably might as well just get comfy and wait. Stuff happens, and this time it's happening to you. Just roll with the punches.
