went and picked up my permit today, got printed on jan 25th. Thats 31 days, platte and clay county are processing in less than 21 days.
My permit probably would have taken 45 days, but I called and reminded the deputy
that processes the apps that the statute requires that the permit be issued 3 days after reciept of the background check. Although this same deputy
that told me on the phone that the law did NOT say that you must be notified. Also I was told by this same employee
that he
knew the law, he didn't need to read it, it was his job I wanna know how he figures out these laws without reading them. What's the moral of this story?........
If you apply in jackson county keep an eye on the time your checks are cashed, my check was cashed at the end of the week the nice ladies in jefferson city said my background check was sent out. Keep on top of them, there is no reason to withold permits from qualified applicants for petty personal or political reasons.
" 5. Before an application for a certificate of qualification for a concealed carry endorsement is approved, the sheriff shall make only such inquiries as he or she deems necessary into the accuracy of the statements made in the application. The sheriff may require that the applicant display a Missouri driver's license or nondriver's license or military identification and orders showing the person being stationed in Missouri. In order to determine the applicant's suitability for a certificate of qualification for a concealed carry endorsement, the applicant shall be fingerprinted.
The sheriff shall request a criminal background check through the appropriate law enforcement agency within three working days after submission of the properly completed application for a certificate of qualification for a concealed carry endorsement. If no disqualifying record is identified by the fingerprint check at the state level, the fingerprints shall be forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a national criminal history record check. Upon receipt of the completed background check, the sheriff shall issue a certificate of qualification for a concealed carry endorsement within three working days. The sheriff shall issue the certificate within forty-five calendar days if the criminal background check has not been received, provided that the sheriff shall revoke any such certificate and endorsement within twenty-four hours of receipt of any background check that results in a disqualifying record, and shall notify the department of revenue."
