Permit arrived in the mail after 100 something days! I'm back up to three permits now even though Florida wont honor this. Still good to have extra ones in case my FL permit expired or something I can still carry in other states like Missouri or Texas for example. Silly Florida wont honor out of state permits for Floridian's like Texas does. FL has huge backlogs and it takes awhile to get in to apply for a permit. We should have the option to get an out of state one if it's faster.

Still no permit. I will call again on Thur after my mail gets here if I don't get it.

If I'm correct Texas offers permits to non residents right? How do I go about that?

Called today about my permit. They're running a few days behind as expected because of all the crap going on the last 6 months but hopefully it will be issued soon they said.

Since when does the US constitution say anything about being taxed to BEAR arms?

I still have not got my permit yet and it's been over 90 days. Does anyone know the number I can call to check on it? I figure calling this time would be better than emailing them. I can't find their number anywhere for the firearms licensing division.

Well up until a couple years ago Virginia had a 1 gun a month law unless you had a VA ccw permit.

tomorrow will be 90 days. If I don't get the permit by the middle of next week I'll be emailing them again and wondering what's going on. I've got a FL and AZ permit but these permits are literally to die for. Lawmakers tried passing a law in VA to allow domestic violence victims to get permits faster but Governor McAwful vetoed it and votes not there for override. I wonder how many people might die over not being able to get a permit in time.

Still no permit yet. I guess they're taking the full 90 days.

I emailed Virginia today regarding my permit and they said 90 days from the date of the receipt of payment. I figured it would take the 90 days because a few months ago when VA said they wouldn't honor other states permits people started swamping them with applications for non resident ccw permits.

So mid June I should probably be getting the permit. I will be back up to 3 permits again. I wonder if that puts me in more databases too lol.

I'm not. I think there should be fewer arbitrary restrictions on the "right" to carry, like the "Constitutional Carry" states. Criminals will carry without a license anyway, so why do the law abiding need the state to sell us our right to carry. License background check should involve an instant NICS check and issue the same day if you qualify to buy a gun, if we have to have a license at all.

ETA: BTW I actually have a Texas LTC and a non-res Virginia CCL. It took right on about 45 days to get my Virginia last year.

One thing of caution in these states passing permit less carry is many of them while you can carry without a permit you don't have the same protections. Like if you carry into a posted location or a location that is prohibited by law but not an arrestable offense without a permit in some cases it's an actual crime versus getting a citation and being asked to leave. I believe the Mississippi law is like that.

The law that passed in Missouri without a ccw permit carrying into 16 of the 17 prohibited locations is a misdemeanor versus just a citation if you have a ccw permit and being wrote a ticket.

Still no VA permit. On another forum someone it took 90 days. THey asked VA and VA wouldn't even check the status of their permit until it's been at least 90 days. I'm going to email them tomorrow if I don't get a permit in the mail. I still got two permits anyways but I want to have three permits at all times even though since moving here to Florida they only honor my FL permit.

Came across this thread. The post from last fall seem to be on average 60 to 90 days so hopefully soon I get something. It's not good here in Florida anyways but since moving from Missouri I want to maintain 3 permits at all times.

I will say Arizona has the easiest process as long as they can read your prints. In Dec 2014 I applied for AZ and just under 30 days later I got my permit.

Interesting. I might have to try and contact them next week. Then again you got your permit before the attorney general announced they would no longer honor most permits which probably caused a huge influx of ccw applications this spring before they reversed on it.

Still no VA permit in the mail yet. Based on what I read on other forums mid June the latest.

I am assuming you are referring to the 12-22 AG decision, but from what I read, Texas wasn't among the affected states. Thankfully the legislature stepped in on behalf of the people. I myself will be looking into the Arizona permit so I can carry on Nevada, but I thank God I ended up in one of the most reciprocated states in the union. Maybe one of these days the courts will realize that the 14th amendment doesn't only apply to drivers and marriage licenses and we won't have to worry about this reciprocity nonsense.

Florida does but you must be a resident of that state like visiting for example. If you live in FL you can't use a AZ permit to carry for example like you can in Texas or Missouri.

Arizona process is very simple. No photo or notary required. Just go to a law enforcement agency and get two finger print cards taken and fill out the one page app and send a couple in of your NRA class you took or military papers and $60. In about a month you got a permit. A lot easier process than the Texas permit system.

The FL permit even renewing you must get prints and everything done again. Pointless to get your prints taken for a renewal.

The whole system of needing a permit to bear arms is not constitutional. Since bear means to have on one's self.

I recently moved to FL and already have a AZ and FL permit but was looking to get back up to 3 permits since my MO one is no longer valid. Btw MO passed a huge permit less conceal carry bill today that was a massive pro gun bill. Hope you Texans get it soon too.

Welcome to the conversation! I am not really sure this post is in the right place, as this is pretty much the waiting room for Texas LTC (formerly CHL) permits, and unless I am mistaken, an out-of-state Virginia permit doesn't really grant any extra privileges, unlike say an out of state Arizona permit. That being said many moons ago, when i was a Virginia resident, it took EXACTLY the then proscribed 45 days (2003).

I'm sure they had a huge influx for VA permits a few months ago when it was announced they wouldn't honor other permits. I'm sure everyone scrambled to get their VA permit which could be causing delays.

I hate the system here in Florida that Floridian's can only carry on a Florida permit. In Missouri I had the backup permits in case I couldn't renew in time or something I simply would have a spare permit. Here in FL to apply in person I've heard it takes a few months in advance to get an appointment for it. I don't see FL getting permit less carry like Missouri is. This state is becoming too urbanized now. We can't even get open carry passed here.

At least in Texas you Texan's can use other states permits. I like having that safeguard.
