Permit To Purchase time frame

[LarryP]

How long does a permit to purchase usually take to process?

[TSKNIGHT]

A friend renewed his PTP a few weeks ago. Took about 20 minutes.
Of course that's out here in the sticks.

It states in the law the issuing agency has up to 7 days to issue or deny the Permit to Purchase. I was told by my local agency many years ago to return in 2 weeks to pick it up. When I told the lady the law states it must be issued in 7 days she told me to take it up with the Attorney General. When I asked to speak to Police Chief, she said he was not available. When asked to speak to her supervisor she got a police officer. When I explained to him the problem, he said it would be ready in one week. Which it was. Now, I just use the Permit to Carry. The lady no longer works there, the new clerks are very nice to deal with.

I don't believe there is a penalty for not complying with the time requirement.

I don't believe there is a penalty for not complying with the time requirement.

That is correct, no penalty for the departments to not follow the law.

That is correct, no penalty for the departments to not follow the law.

The definition of irony.
