8/19 here, and nothing. I’m hoping maybe Halloween time at the earliest giving the going rate

I waited so long for approval, but the wait for the card is so much harder. In the meantime I need to research carry insurance

Ccwsafe they have red flag laws and have great coverage

Massad Ayoob gives some sound advice that we freshmen CCW permit holders should heed.

@BoondockSaint - How hard would it be to add the highest permit number recorded and maybe the first recorded number to the data updates? How about the latest accepted/nics date pair and/or latest NICS/Approved date pair? Like maybe once per week?

As I understand it, permit numbers run consecutively for each year and include new, renewed, and reissued permits with no way to differentiate just by number. Not sure what use that info would be? Also, I’ve seen no proof NICS dates have any meaning other than you get one before you’re approved … could be the day your accepted, the day your approved, or any day between.

I don't think it would be especially difficult. But I think it would be of fairly limited use and therefore beyond my willingness to track it. Perhaps someone else is willing to track that data.

I recognize that the spreadsheet is somewhat backward-looking because it isn't updated until someone is approved. With that said, those still waiting for action on their application can see the acceptance dates being served, when they got NICS, and see the number of days it took to get to each checkpoint. Using the curve of the graph along with approval rates should offer some insight into how long someone might have until their next checkpoint.

the first bit of data, the highest recorded license number would give us a very rough estimate of how many licenses have been issued since the data started getting tracked.
i admit the second set of data points would only serve as a semi-comforting quick reference for people still on the curve. Like knowing that 8/4 Accepteds are seeing NICS on 9/10 would tend to make the 8/5ers a bit happier. The 9/1 Accepteds, perhaps, not so much

either way, it was just an idle thought.

So should I be looking at the date of my accaeptance to guesstimate the wait, or figure on the latest batch of approvals as the length of time I shuld expect to wait?

Either way, it makes me ache.

The Accepted date is the important date.

My buddy is applying next week and asked me how long it’ll take. I had to break the bad news to him.

Tell him to start the app now, that way when his training and everything is ready to upload, his acceptance will come faster according to data.

 

[DeHerdershond]

Great question. It would be awesome if there are no 7/30ers or 7/31ers

7/29 here

Correct. The accepted date is the driver. There is a relationship between NICS-approved, but it's not a significant driver. NICS is good for 30 days, so for those that have gotten it early, I expect it had been re-done after the initial run.

This is not accurate.

The accepted date is the driver.
