I have applied for a gun permit on August 6th and I have not heard from them yet, it is still under status not yet approved. I have lived in the same address for 25 years no criminal records ever and I still am waiting. The automatic answering said we are in a state of emergency for 18 months! So does that mean no guns for 18 months? It also said new cards will be issued up to 119 days well I am almost at that point!! But is states on web site denied or granted in 30 days!
