Dammit Portland!!!
Living in downtown Portland, applied for a ccw last month. Took the entire month (even though I hand delivered it to Portland PD). A got approved, now to find out there's only 2 officers who do the paperwork...and one's out sick. I was told it could be a week longer. WTF, this isn't a library card!

It's the government. You should assume any dealings with them will take all of the time allotted and maybe a little more.

You are correct, it came though today. Very laid back at the station in Portland, it's more stressful to register my car in town.

This used to be the case, but I think S*itwood doesn't run the PD anymore. Not sure what it is like now.

Sh*twood is gone, thankfully. The new Chief is a guy named Craig, seen him speak in my neighborhood and was almost impressed, seems like a nice guy. Intailly he was denying all CCW permits, but after his first month he turned a corner/had a talkin' to and now approves most of them.
But after 2 rounds of police and fire layoffs, the PD is more or less a skeleton of itself, and it's run by a broke city. Tons of new trouble up here.

We're a Shall-Issue state. Unless you are disqualified due to being a felon, domestic problems, drugs, etc, he cannot deny it.

The former Chief was quite inventive when it came to avoid issuing CCW.
I am not sure if anyone ever got one out of him.
So the new Chief James E. Craig is much better in a lot of ways.
