The lady stated that that have 45 to 180 day to issue the renewal. I stated that to my understanding , it 45 days unless they need new information and obviously that haven't requested any new information. She confirmed that there is no new information needed but repeated that they have 180 days anyways. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she said one would call me back . Another thing she told me is that my application didn't not start processing until March 14. I let her know that all my information/renewal was submitted on March 4th and received the email on that same day. She repeated well it started processing on the 14th. Well shall see what is going on . I contacted my representative today, see where this goes. Hmm

I am even considering getting the Arizona gun permit to have just in case they want to drag their feet to the point of my license expiring. It's unacceptable! What is making certain renewals take a long time? They should only have 45 days to approve or deny. If they need more than 45 days on a renewal with no new information from the last application , then what is really going on ? Hmmm

They have all required documents, and information but are still stating that it may take that long. If it does I will be out of compliance, and will not be able to legally carry.

All my docs were receive 02/18/2019, and I have since gotten my state rep involved.

I submitted mine on 2/18 also and was told the same thing. I called my State Rep office on Thursday. On Friday she call me back and said it was taken care of. Went to print the same day. She said they told her that they are busy and they were just processing renewals submitted on 2/14. Not sure I buy it. But.

Yes, that's a load of hooey. I submitted my renewal on 2/13 and had the new card in hand on 2/26.

I am gonna take a guess and say that they are probably prioritizing the ones that are about to expire . I am still almost 5 months from expiration . Really who knows but they're not really consistent on process time.

Well then I would have been a priority if that were the case. I submitted 5 days before expiration. I postponed it longer than I should have. But everyone I talked to was getting there's back within 3 weeks so I didn't worry about it too much. Lesson learned.

Ooo. Bummer.
Hopefully you have a backup? I have an AZ license just in case something like that happens.
