CCW update.

Wife and I went to the Dept of Agriculture in Ft. Walton and applied for our CCW's. They do everything there, photos and fingerprints, etc. Took about 45 minutes. Got our permits in less than a week. I like the one stop shopping!! Saved a lot of running around and then the looong wait if you mail everything in. I know all states are different, but if you can go in person, that's the way to go!!

B'ham Shooter and I had a thread going on the old forum, where for the last few years we timed how long it takes to renew our permit.
In '09 there was a couple in front of me, both getting theirs, so it ended up taking about two minutes (from the time I opened the door to the sheriff's office until the time I stepped back outside), in '10 and this year I was the only person in line, and I got out of there in under a minute both times.
I read on here about folks in some states having to send theirs in weeks in advance........that just boggles the mind.
I will fear no evil: For I carry a .308 and not a .270

We have in person application at the Sheriff office with a side trip to the booby hatch to get a certification your not a booby from their collection of hatch boobies.
Then wait 90 days or so until they call you to come back and get the permit.
Wambli, any of the Dept of Ag regional offices will do it. You call for an appointment, show up with your paperwork showing training and a certified check or money order for the amount. The application is done on the computer, they do the pics and prints. The delay is due to mailing the license, as technically it is approved when you leave.
