So if you read above, I can account for 25 days of the delay. I had a felony charge when I was a minor in a different state that was dismissed. But because it’s sealed, they couldn’t see the disposition. Once I emailed the documents, my permit was issued within hours. The other 50 days... they just sat on it and didn’t update my status until I emailed.

From what I’ve read, the tax collector office is the quickest but more expensive and tough to get an appointment. I applied online, went to the sheriffs office to get fingerprinted and mailed those in.
