Same here hopefully tomorrow or hopefully I wake up and it’s approved.

 

[BMXshooter623]

What’s your accepted date? I’m 8/24 so I got a while.

Was thinking, imagine in 2-3 years we’ll be doing the same waiting game on renewal.

8/3 here

You did that before? No thanks.. that’s just not worth it to me.

I would drive from my home with the gun in a case in the truck, unloaded. Get one block into Delaware, pull over, load everything up and go on my way. Coming home was the exact opposite. Today was the first time I left my house with loaded handgun on me ready to go. It was truly a joy.

I feel this, I left my home state of MD 8 years ago. Carrying daily for 8 years up here and having to disarm every time I come home to visit both sides of mine and my wifes family is frustrating to say the least. And having two young children, we travel to see family frequently. I cant wait to legally carry, where I grew up and never dreamed i'd be able to.. (its something I never thought my children would even be able to do).

Interesting thought I had today. I saw this line on the MSP site regarding training.

“As of October 1, 2013, all new, renewal, and subsequent applicants must successfully complete required firearms training, within 2 years, prior to submitting the application.”

Could we get our training in for renewal 1 year and 11 months ahead of schedule to avoid the rush? Of course, requirements could change before then.

Yes, the training is good for two years and this is a viable strategy. As of right now at least.

There won’t be too bad of a “rush” because everyone’s permits expire on their birth month, not the month they were issued.

This is true. If nothing else, to avoid a rate hike and larger class sizes.

The fun comes in 2 to 2.5 years when 40k worth of permits needs to be renewed all at the same time!

No. They renew in your birthday month. It will spread it out.

 

[Texasgrillchef]

They would be wise to do like other states and let you apply for renewal 6 months in advance, and they just Have to approve or deny before your current one expires

You apply 90 days in advance. By Statute they have 90 days to make a decision. Got that covered…

Also, you can carry on an “expired” permit as long as your renewal is in process.

 

[Texasgrillchef]

Not by much though… considering the number of applicants will still be high for a while. Until instructors can get the vast majority trained. Then you have the renewal classes. Thankfully as an instructor I don’t have to take the classes or renewal that makes it easy for me.

I know that… I’m an instructor… but if you had 6 months. It would be spread out over a little more time, and it would give them more time to process.

however, you still always have those that do last minute

Lol, me too

But the wait time will not matter since the old permit will be good as long as you have applied for renewal.

Nah....the use of birthdate to renew will broaden the distribution and timing of renewals
