Applied for my ccw the other day. Anyone know how picky Fairfax County is? The clerk at the court made it sound like Fairfax doesn't like to issue them. Sounded very PRNY/NJ-ish.

They are picky, but whether they like it or not they SHALL ISSUE the permit to you, provided you have been good.  They have 45 days from the time you submit the application to the clerk to have it ready for you. If you have any problems, contact the VCDL.Did you move here recently from NY or NJ? Good luck! |
I moved here a year ago from NY. I am a good boy. I work for Uncle Sam, and have to maintain a clearance (if ya know what I mean). I only went to NY because of work, not by choice. |

I live in Fairfax. They have 45 days. On the 47th I called and asked politley where the hell my permit was. She said hold on................................................................................................You are approved you can come in and pick it up. The next day (48th) I recieved my letter of aproval. It had been mailed on the 46th day. But I got it. |
It is as if there are two states. Everything east of Lexington or so and then the western portion of the state. I'm just glad our permits down here only run $15. |
I've been issued a CCW in both Alexandria and Pr. William County. Both mailed my permit to me. Friends of mine have had theirs issued by Fairfax and have told me that they won't do this. Fairfax makes you come pick it up in person and not a day sooner than the 45 day period. Just another way to make your life difficult. Of course, another friend of mine who lives in Stafford Co. just got his recently. He didn't have any problems with getting the permit, but he found his name and address published in the local newspaper. Seems this local birdcage liner believes this "public" information should be published.
