Let's see how long it takes

[95blklsc]

Hey everyone, I lurk here but don't post too much. I've finally gotten around to applying for my class A LTC. I just applied on Nov 13th, let's see how long it takes to get. BTW, I live in Westport MA and it shouldn't be any problem getting a class a. Now I still need to figure out what I want to buy for carry. The officer said it has been taking about 6 weeks lately, so that puts it right in time for Christmas!! =)

6 weeks would be nice. Good luck...

 

[GaryO]

When I appled for mine in Franklin it took less than a month.

 

[Pilgrim]

100 days for me

(cue Monty Python accent)

"100 days? Luxury. I dreamed of getting my LTC in 100 days!"

 

[depicts]

Good luck, my police department in Norton got my last renewal in 30 days

The S&W 1911 SC is pretty nice. Has all the features plus it doesn't weigh much. Other recommendations are the Glock M19 or the S&W scandium .357 mag revolver; this one not to shoot, only to carry!

I applied for my LTC on Oct 26th - and the inspector said that they are taking just about 30 days to turn around - this was in Chelmsford. So near the end of next week I am going to start anticipating a phone call - hopefully she is right. I have been thinking of a Glock 19 as my first purchase...

Bellingham must be the best town when it comes issuing LTCs. It took 3 weeks to the day for mine about 6 months ago and 4 weeks to the day for my fiancée to get hers which she recieved last week. Good luck and don't call and ask how they are making out!!

took mine 13 week's but that's just avon and somerset for you , good luck mate

The law requires that they give you an answer in 40 days ( ), so, my suggestion is to wait until the 40 days is up, then, VERY nicely call and ask if anythings happening with the license.

 

[95blklsc]

Well now it's been over 6 weeks, nearing 8. Still no license, hopefully soon!!

I

Live in Fall River.and been waiting since oct 3rd

One of my recommendation letters was actually from the deputy chief in Fall River. Do they notify you if you get denied?

 

[MrsWildweasel]

I get to renew mine in July hopefully it will be less than the 9 months it took then. Not holding my breath either.

 

[highlander]

I'm going in to start my renewal in 2 weeks I'll let you know smoothly things go
I expect little trouble Lynn has been pretty good on issuing permits especially Class A

 

[BONZCNC]

I guess it wouldn't be too soon for my renewal, it expires the end of February. I'm renewing in Norton, anybody had experience with this town?

 

[reinbeau]

Mine is up in April, when do you all think I should start the renewal process?

 

[Jay G]

Mine too. I've been wondering the same thing myself. I was trying to decide between submitting the application either Feb. 1 or March 1...

 

[Iron Horse Gunn]

I renewed mine in Duxbury on 12/19/06 and got it back yesterday, 01/08/07.
LTC -A no restrictions

 

[dwarven1]

Marlboro won't take the app longer than 4 weeks out... and it took 4 weeks and 1 day to get my renewed LTC-A for ALP.

 

[vellnueve]

Do it in February

 

[Lynne]

Just a reminder folks - we've got the 90 day grace period back. It may or may not help depending on how long the state takes, but, I would suggest doing it a month before. It seems that most of my students over the past few months have only taken 4 to 5 weeks....as an FYI.

 

[95blklsc]

I'm not familiar with the 90 day grace period, what is this?

As long as you have applied for your renewal, and, it takes longer than the expiration date on your license, you're covered for 90 days on your license. The renewal MUST be in the process however.

 

[95blklsc]

Ahhhh ok, thanks. Although that doesn't apply to me, this is a first time application.

 

[KMaurer]

Talked with someone last night who applied for his renewal in August 2006 (expiring October 2006); he just got it last week.

That sounds like Ed's - took 138 days.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

I figure I will start the end of May since mine expires end of July. See if it takes a whole 9 months again.

 

[highlander]

My permit runs out in March my appointment to renew is on the 23rd of this month so if your permit runs out in Feb now would be the time to start the renewal
