How long is the wait now I've heard all kinds of times. Floridas web site says less then 90 days with electronic prints I just wondered what times are accurate now. Thanks
just gotten mine in the mail today issued 7-11-08 good to 7-11-15
sent it off june 2nd they received it june 4th via certified mail. so about 43 days. :drinks
New member and thought I would join the fun waiting game. State of Florida received my application on June 27th (USPS delivery confirmation). So I am at the 46 day mark and still waiting. Will let you know when it is delivered.
I think I told you guys about a couple of friends that took their course at the Tampa State Fairgrounds here about 2 months ago along with 600 hundred others that weekend. Well, they both received rejection notices in the mail. Reason was, their passport photo's which were supplied by the gun show, were black and white, the State requested "Color" passport photo's...I'll bet there is going to be alot of pissed off people when they find this out..
Maybe with all them out of the way I will get mine sooner (Color Photo). 46 days and counting. Now I would hate to be the one answering those phone calls.
Just thought I'd post on this thread also that I just got my license yesterday; 56 days from mailbox to mailbox. (Electronic prints)
Went out today and bought a Kahr CW9, and ordered an MTAC Minotaur holster for it. It was nice not having to wait the 2 days to pick up the gun!

now im looking at a springfield subcompact 40 in anticipation
going to ft laud gun show saturday in anticipation
Man, these wait times suck, when I did mine I used electronic fingerprints and I got it back in like 3 weeks, that was over 2 years ago now. I suppose the volume was not nearly as high though. Glad to see more people applying. The more responsible armed citizens the better!
My brother called me today. I sent my application in before him by a few days. He got his today. He's pumped cause he is getting an ar-15 tommorrow at the gun show and now he can just walk out with it....ME? Im still waiting!!!
I mailed my application on June 24th and my prints were done electronically. I called Tallahassee to inquire about it yesterday. The application was received on June 27th. That's the good news.
The bad news is that Tallahassee hasn't even STARTED processing my application yet.
When sending in my application, I tried to make it as easy as possible. I sent in a money order, did the electronic scan of my finger prints, sent along copies of my DD-214, my Florida security officers license, my drivers license, ah heck, I even sent along a copy of my security license from Washington, DC (I just moved to Florida in March).
:laughing
I didn't want there to be ANY excuse for my application to be delayed. So much for THAT strategy.
Thought I would call and see whats up with my license today. They informed me that my fingerprint card was illegible they just havent sent me a letter yet to let me know . Its been 52 days now and I am now going to get them done electronically to see if that speeds things up a bit. GEEE!!! this is so much fun . Guess sparky the fingerprint guy at the gun show was having a bad day. Oh well, Its a good lesson in patience, which is something I believe I will need plenty of when I begin to carry.
Ok, so patience is NOT one of my exceptionally few virtues.
After receiving the devastating news last Friday that my application hadn't even started to be processed yet, and that I should call back in a month, I decided to call again today.
Told ya, patience isn't one of my (exceptionally few) virtues.
Anyway, I spoke with a very nice lady, and after verifying my identity, she stated to me that my application had been processed on August 18th.
:clap
She also stated to me that "you should have your license in 7 to 10 days".
I love reading this stuff. Especially when someone receives their license. I feel for ya'll still waiting. I remember all to well my wait and anticipation. I even received 2 rejections months apart I had to fight my way thru, so needless to say it took awhile to get mine. Frustration seemed to be my constant companion. Then one day, I checked the mail and danced a jig in my driveway.
Mailed mine out on August 18 and the check cleared August 28. Used Live Scan so hopefully that speeds things up a bit. Probably not, but atleast I'm in the system now.
I finally came yesterday:drinks I took 62 days from the day they recieved the application in their office. Now its time to spend some more money at the gun store.
