...after waiting a measly two weeks.  I applied at the Probate Court two fridays ago, and it came in the mail today.

Go Georgia!l  I'm just happy it came so quickly.  I'm going to go post a good review at georgiapacking.org for Bibb County.

Just figured I'd announce it in here, instead of GD, where 90% of the responses would either be "lolwut", "pie" or "worthless without pics".

Congrats!  I still have to wait until March for my 21st to roll around so I can start toting my G19.  But I know my probate judge, so perhaps he can expedite things.

Everyone who applies, remember that the Probate Judges have deadlines that they are required to adhere too.   Another gift from HB89.

I've been waiting since mid November in Richmond county. I called down there and the lady said there was a bunch (apparently a metric shitload) that they are waiting on. I hope they get here soon.

Here are the relevant sections from 16-11-129 from GeorgiaPacking.org

http://www.georgiapacking.org/GaCode/?title=16&chapter=11§ion=129

(d)  Investigation of applicant; issuance of license; renewal.

  (1) For both license applications and requests for license renewals, the judge of the probate court shall within two business days following the receipt of the application or request direct the law enforcement agency to request a fingerprint based criminal history records check from the Georgia Crime Information Center and Federal Bureau of Investigation for purposes of determining the suitability of the applicant and return an appropriate report to the judge of the probate court. Fingerprints shall be in such form and of such quality as prescribed by the Georgia Crime Information Center and under standards adopted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation may charge such fee as is necessary to cover the cost of the records search.



 (2) For both license applications and requests for license renewals, the judge of the probate court shall within two business days following the receipt of the application or request also direct the law enforcement agency to conduct a background check using the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Instant Criminal Background Check System and return an appropriate report to the probate judge.




(4) The law enforcement agency shall report to the judge of the probate court within 30 days, by telephone and in writing, of any findings relating to the applicant which may bear on his or her eligibility for a license or renewal license under the terms of this Code section. When no derogatory information is found on the applicant bearing on his or her eligibility to obtain a license or renewal license, a report shall not be required. The law enforcement agency shall return the application and the blank license form with the fingerprint thereon directly to the judge of the probate court within such time period. Not later than ten days after the judge of the probate court receives the report from the law enforcement agency concerning the suitability of the applicant for a firearms license, the judge of the probate court shall issue such applicant a license or renewal license to carry any pistol or revolver unless facts establishing ineligibility have been reported or unless the judge determines such applicant has not met all the qualifications, is not of good moral character, or has failed to comply with any of the requirements contained in this Code section. The judge of the probate court shall date stamp the report from the law enforcement agency to show the date on which the report was received by the judge of the probate court.



(j) When an eligible applicant who is a United States citizen fails to receive a license, temporary permit, or renewal license within the time period required by this Code section and the application or request has been properly filed, the applicant may bring an action in mandamus or other legal proceeding in order to obtain a license, temporary license, or renewal license, and such applicant shall be entitled to recover his or her costs in such action, including reasonable attorney's fees.

A real nice lady took my fingerprints.  She got all of them 99% scored, so it hopefully wouldn't come back and I'd have to ink up my hands.  This plus a squeaky clean record helped push it through, I'm sure.  She said that even though I was there on a Friday morning, it was pretty much dead.  She said she has been taking 15-20 apps a day, and she's one of three clerks in there.

So where are all the "local meetings" of "interested individuals" held in GA?  I'll accept PMs.

Pretty sure my boss will let me carry at work.  It's a public building of private companies, so I believe all I need is his permission.  Pretty sure I'm interpreting that right.

TYVM.  I've really been looking forward to it.  One more thing to mark off of this year's list.

Luckyyyyyy....

I applied for mine Aug 20, 2008 in Fulton Co.  and still got nothing.

I called the GBI and my background check was sent back Dec. 14, 2008.  It's now Jan. 25, 2009.
