Recieved the call today at five that my permit was in and could be picked up.  Problem is I was at work and couldnt pick it up [:)]  Anyways I get to pick it up in the morning and I'm stoked.  Only took 101 days, $114 Dollars, and two 8 hour NRA classes.

Congratulations.  I'm still working on mine.  It's been almost ten months and counting...z

Ouch, I thought the 101 days was bad.

[B]You Lucky SOB's!!! I'm so jealous where I live you have to go through so much BS.......at least if you want to carry legally heee heee
Looks like I need to move to WY  know any good Realtors?? [/b]

CONGRATULATIONS schapman43!!!!!!!!
Have had mine for about a year. Two eight hour days, a $150.00, and received in the mail in ten days.

I know realtors and a good place to work!

Poor bastards

Here law states you get at least a temporary permit in 5 days

Cost : $10 to the sheriff for a 4 year permit
Training : WTF? We don't need no stinkin training
Only have to be 18!
only 1 more year for me!

Prairie-Ranger, would it be rude to say I hate you? [:)]  $10, no training requirement, and only a 5 day delay, wow!  What about fingerprinting requirements?  I don't really mind month long delays as much as being treated like a sex offender to get a permit.

schapman43, excuse my selfish wallowing in self pity.  I forgot to ask, where are you going to carry first and what are you going to carry?  I think it's rude of us to have not asked that.  Also, let us know how it makes you feel to carry.z

I'm going to be carrying a full size HK USP45F when its cold (here in WY thats a majority of the time) and a 1911 when its warm.  Both in Blade Tech IWB holsters off the stong side hip.

... great news! Just remember; You can NEVER let anyone see you carry concealed.

[:)] Yup Yup!

I am still waiting for mine.
Went in and got finger printed on Jan 2,2002
Paid $65 for license fees
Paid $35 for NRA Gun Safety Class/Oregon Laws class
Waiting for the 45 Day waiting period.
Am getting anxious like a kid waiting for Christmas.
Feb16,2002 seems so long away.[bounce][bounce]

I almost forgot to mention.  The other day when I called to see what the usual wait time on a license was I was told 120 days because they have seen a huge ammount of applications lately.

Hey schapman43, your last post was after 4 AM.  Are you so excited that you can't sleep?z

[:)]  I work till 1am Mtn time so I come home and kinda hang around till I get tired.  I'll sure be tired when I get up at 7am to get the license!

heak i would have just stayed up..

[:)] Well I went and picked it up this morning at 7am.  They had a whole folder of stuff that the permit was attached to.  I didnt get to see what was in the folder.

probably every detail of yore life from the moment of conception to the moment you picket the permit up. and they are probably adding to it right now.

I'm sorry you feel that way zoom [:D]
