Well, I mailed out my renewal application on 7/20. MSP received it on 7/24 and I received the new permit today 10/13. Not too bad. I did have a bit of an issue with my initial permit expiring before I received the renewal. Initial was set to expire on 9/30 and I had still not received the new permit so I sent an email. The reply I got was "Your renewed permit should be out to you within a week. Until then you may carry on the expired permit do to you submitting your renewal at least 2 weeks prior to expiration". I was a bit skeptical about this, carrying with an expired permit, so I printed out the email and carried it with me. I noticed that the new permit actually says on the bottom. "If expired contact MSP before arrest".
Not receiving the renewal before my intial expired was my fault as I did not get my application out 90 days prior to expiration. I just didn't have everything together to mail yet. Overall I think it was still a pretty quick turn around, for MD that is. Little over 2-1/2 months. I also noticed that it is not called a Wear & Carry Permit. It is still called a Permit to Carry a Handgun. This one is good for 3 years as opposed to the initial permit only being good for 2.
