My wife has a permit. Brand new, she just picked it up yesterday.
It took 109 dollars, 4 references, 5 months and one week, three trips to the sheriff's office for fingerprints, two trips for the reference forms, one trip to apply for and one trip to pick up the permit.
HOWEVER.....
She still does not have an ACTUAL permit to ACTUALLY keep an ACTUAL pistol in her very own home. It is sort of an abstract permit.
When she went to pick up the permit she brought with her a list of two handguns she already owns that are stored in an out of state gun store. The information was taken and she was told it would have to go before a judge who would (possibly) sign amendments to her permit for these pistols. She asked if those would be mailed to her.
"Oh no, you have to come in to pick them up."
