Awesome, I hope I have mine by the 12th. I have to be in Madison on the 13th and I would sure like to be carrying.
They got it today so I am hoping they get it processed and out in the next 10 days. |

That's a whole day off work, and with a E250 van or a 3/4 ton 4X4 GMC Sierra, about 35 gallons of gas for the 500 mile round-trip, plus parking, etc. With no pay (at least $300) for the day, plus expenses ($150)... I could buy a new gun. I can wait. I'll be happy enough if I get mine by the 19th (deer season opener). I carry a .45 Colt Blackhawk in the woods, and it'd be nice not to have to wear it in a shoulder holster outside my blaze orange parka. |

Of course, there are probably a dozen people running home for lunch to check the mail after reading this.
That and the rest of us who will be refreshing the browser "after work" to see what the permit looks like. Go home for lunch man!! |

Hey, it's only been one day, and only 150 or so "walk-ins" have been processed, because there hasn't been enough time for all the mail-ins to start arriving. Today's the day the defecation hits the rotary oscillator. They had 10,000 come in today's mail according to the media. How long before they get processed? How many will come tomorrow? I worked for USPS, so I know that very few post offices (except big cities) have more than one "pick-up" daily, and the one they have comes after closing... it's likely 2 days for 1st class mail to reach Madison from anywhere north of highway 10. They'll get another shitload tomorrow (including mine, which I mailed yesterday morning) when Wausau, Eau Claire, Green Bay USPS sorting centers' mail starts to get there. And another bunch will come the next day, and so on, until it trickles down. Expect another "surge" in early December when the 21 days kicks in. I've been saying all along that I don't believe they'll intentionally "sit" on anybody's permit simply because they can, and that by the end of this week some people will have their permits in hand, and I was right.... but 18 people processing just ain't gonna get it done in 45 days, IMO. We'll see. Edit to add: I was unaware they'd accept "walk-ins" until yesterday, so I believed all along that the 1st permits would be mailed out today or tomorrow, to start arriving tomorrow or the next day. The walk-in acceptance threw my own thinking's time-table off by a day. If they release the number of how many got processed today, if it's not at least 700-800, they'll never make it. The law said "45 days"... not 45 "business days". They gonna work weekends? |

OP got his because he was smarter than the average bear and dropped his off. I think today that there is a whole lot of "what are we going to do" going on with the number of applications. However I am stoked that mine is in the 10,000 today, so I know I will be among the first wave. |

Just an envelope with DOJ return address. Card was glued like a credit card to the bottom of a page with some info on it. It also came with a trifold? brochure marked "Concealed Weapons License Information" The envelope was postmarked Nov 1. |

OK, so at 1500 cards per hour they bought a big boy card printer, probably the same brand as the DMV uses. Like a Datacard MX6000 card issuance system. That's 1500 cards per hour with color. But they bought some cheap ass PVC ID card stock, skipped the security overlay and took about 5 2 minutes to layout the design in the software.
I am underwhelmed. Not so much for use here but rather in other states. Looks fake. Not that it matters. I could print one to match in my office here in about a minute. And add a fancy overlay in that! BUT CONGRATS ON #15 and 11/1/11 issuance date, that is awesome!!! ETA –– doesn't look like they even put a clear protective overlay on. If not, that will not hold up the dated life in a wallet. I wonder if I can legally run it through overlay on a badge printer. Hmmmmmm... NVM, would help if I read the entire post.  |
