    How long has it taken to get denied?

    How long has it taken to get approved(received permit)?

    I doubt many are applying. Unless you have a connection, I would think that you're going to be denied.

    95 calendar days to receive permit, and that included Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years holidays.

    State police received my application just before Christmas and yesterday I had my interview. The Sgt. doing my interview said it takes roughly 3 months from when they receive your application. I'm looking at a decision toward the end of March.

    We had several of our students get the wear and carry this year. All were business owners or worked for someone and carried cash. Approval usually take about 90 business days.

    Turned my application in early November 2014 and my checks cleared about two weeks after. I had my face to face interview with the BI in December, all references including my wife were contacted mid December. I'm still waiting........

    I'm just an honest law abiding citizen of Maryland so my life is not valuable enough and thus doesn't warrant a carry license, so says the state.

    Truest statement yet.

    It gives me high blood pressure to think about, honestly. I always have a knife with me, but I can't throw the darn thing.

    I just don't understand why we have to wait so long, even to get one for work takes long.
    I would really like to know what they look at while doing the BI to carry because most of us has obtained our "HQL" and that requires a BC that includes fingerprints, then to purchase a firearm we have to undergo another FBI BC on every purchase so what else is there to look at that takes so long? doesn't the FBI check override the state?
