How Long Do YOU Have To Wait?

Y'all are still not answering the OP's question... just because your state does not require a permit to carry a handgun does not mean they don't issue them... here in S.C. they still do.
This allows me to carry in some other states and on top of that go to an FFL and purchase a gun with out a back ground check, which is a good thing since I can't pass the one they have to use.
 
Well then I stand up corrected.... never heard of such a thing... well actually I have, it seems they used to have that up in N.C. for many years... all falls back on the Jim Crowe years when a person had to get permission from the local sheriff to purchase a gun.... but then gun control has been racist pretty much for the whole time this country has existed..

the irony for me is I have one of those and is the only way I can buy a gun from an FFL here in S.C.
 
No such thing here in Ohio. I walk in, pick out the gun I want. Then fill out the form, it's usually electronic now. The response comes back within 5 minutes or so. Then I pay the cashier and walk out the door.

I guess a lot of us don't know how good we have it.

How long do you have to wait for your handgun permits to go through? Here in NJ, one permit covers all longarms, but each handgun requires a permit unto itself. While the permits go through the state police, the towns get them from there. Doesn't matter if the application is online or not. My son's town has a dedicated firearms officer / department, and his take around 2 weeks. My down doesn't. Someone will get around to doing one or two if they have nothing else to do. Usually takes around TWELVE weeks. At this point I apply for 2 or 3 at a time. If I don't use them I can extend for 90 days after the original 90 days. Still, this strikes me as a ridiculous way to have to do it. What are YOUR wait times?

Permits are not needed in Vt, however I'm curious how many times can you extend for 90 days? Until you decide to buy another pistol? can you keep a permit in limbo permanently?
 
I am a bit confused. Are you asking about a carry permit or a purchase permit? Here in Maryland my carry permit took about two weeks to process. If I am purchasing I have to complete a State Police questionnaire (a State equivalent of a 4473). I am given a PIN and give it to the dealer. Then it is a 7 day wait, for a reply from the State Police saying that I can pick up the gun.

The OP is referring to purchase permits for regulated firearms. Or at least I say so because when I stated that in a reply he "liked" it. It sounded like VA's process years back when I was stationed there.

Maryland used to have a M77R form for regulated firearms. Now that they have the HQL and HCL and H this and that I have no idea what Maryland does. Glad I moved over to the PA side and don't have to worry about all that nonsense.
 
In OR it used to be that if you had a CHL it was cash and carry. Then they changed that so you had to go through the state for a background check. With a CHL that was just about instantaneous, without it anywhere from a minute or two to a couple of hours. Now the darn Dem's are trying to institute a permit to purchase and a 72 hr waiting period. That's still going through legal challenges… but the panic it caused has had wait times on a background check go to anywhere from pretty quick to a month or so. Luckily with my CHL it has sailed through almost immediately most times.
 
In Oregon -- because they're trying to push through the permit system and a 72 hour waiting period, and they've got a super-majority in the state capitol -- so only the lack of a quorum can stop it, some gun stores have gone out of business and others aren't even taking consignments now. It will probably pass and there will be lawsuits -- but it needs to go all the way to the Supreme Court because they'll never stop until nobody in Oregon can buy or sell a gun!
 
While this won't tell you how long it takes to get a carry permit, the following link will tell you which states require permits and which will (or may) issue permits to residents and non-residents. After reading through this thread, I think some are getting confused between a concealed carry permit and a state permit to purchase a firearm. After re-reading it, I'm not entirely positive which he was talking about. Anyway, if it was regarding a carry permit, there's this. If you enter the carry permit(s) you have, it will also indicate which other states will honor it/them. They do update this regularly, so the information is fairly reliable. https://www.usacarry.com/concealed-carry-permit-reciprocity-maps/
 
Missouri does not require a permit or license to purchase a firearm. Missouri does not have a permit-to-purchase law, meaning anyone 18 years or older (or 21 for handguns) can purchase a firearm without a license. There is also no waiting period or firearm registration requirement.

mo is about 65 years behind the crazy world. we are living in the old past tense usa.
G-d bless mo..

imagine, selling or buying a gun on a handshake.

heck we still have laws allowing you to dig a hole and bury your kin on your own property.
 
krw - you asked, "So if you buy gun off GB, You do not have to pay MT sales tax??" If Montana has a state sales tax you would have to pay it just like if you were physically in MT buying something. However, from what I saw, it looks like MT does not have a state sales tax unless it was recently enacted. If they do have a state sales tax then yes GunBroker would collect it.
