if it is anything like Mass... it takes a TON of “ judgement” and “discretion” out of the hands of LE. Which can often times be completely arbitrary.
1. License/ renewals are “only” processed at certain, narrow times, or “by appointment only” by your licensing authority. and if the officer that does it has to go on a call. Well, that is the priority. There is only One guy, and they can only do it at that specific time.
2. Approval time can take hours or months, depending on the department, cheif and if they are pro or anti 2A.. “ yes, it has been 6 months, your application is in process and pending, we are short staffed and these things take time”.
3. Once approved, they are sent off to a different entity, for printing the licenses. and laminating. As they are short staffed, they only do the these in batches. And as they are short staffed, they are only able to complete a few of the hundreds that are pending, first in first out..
Then, once laminated.. They have to be mailed.. And once again.. As they are short staffed, they only mail these out twice a month...on weds..
it should be black and white. At time of sale, No record? Pass.
That is total BS
