Jorge0272 Posted August 30, 2018 at 02:16 PM Share Posted August 30, 2018 at 02:16 PM Day 102 and still at UNDER REVIEW (Submitted). They need to fire every single person in management at that office. Just kick them all out of the door. I am sure they all hate guns and don't want anyone with a license, so they make everyone wait. Hire new people that actually care about helping. There is no reason this process should take more than 30 days!! Sorry for the rant! Don't know if I will last the 5 years I need to be in this state.

Scorpionsombra Posted August 30, 2018 at 02:41 PM Share Posted August 30, 2018 at 02:41 PM Submitted: May 25, 2018 w/o prints Day 95 and still showing submitted. Have tried the email trick three separate times and have never received a reply. While I am certain the office responsible for approving these applications is understaffed and poorly managed like every other office in this state. Years of corporate work have taught me that appearances matter. I truly believe that making citizens wait almost the entire legally permitted time to approve these licenses (90/120 days) is a way for the state to appear that they are being delligent when approving these licenses. That way they do not appear negligent if the wrong person is approved for a license because of their poor management and lack of staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hire new people that actually care about helping. There is no reason this process should take more than 30 days!! Sorry for the rant! Don't know if I will last the 5 years I need to be in this state.I walked in to the Centre County PA Sheriff's Dept, and walked out with a PA LTCF in about 15 minutes. There is no explanation possible for why every IL CCL isn't in the mail on day 32. There is no explanation possible for why changing your address results in your licenses being suspended for ~60 days. There is no explanation possible for why someone who's CCL Instructor goofed up has their license revoked and it takes over a year to get it updated with a new training certificate. None of their claims hold water. The reason for the completely screwed up processes and obvious IT malfunctions is because management wants it that way. Not only does management not like guns or gun owners, but foot dragging and malfunctioning agencies is how they get more money. It's the government way.

So much for ISP's contention that non-resident applications are SO MUCH more difficult than for residents. If you were an IL resident, a no-prints application would take twice as long at least. Well, as I noted earlier, there are only two IL certified instructors in the whole state of TX. So unless you are lucky enough to be close to Dallas or Houston, it will not be easy (I had to drive 240 miles one way). Plus the IL non-resident fee is $300, plus the $175 for the class. So, while it may not have taken quite as long as some here have been waiting, it was not exactly easy. As for the prints, since I already have a TX licence and have had the complete background check for that (including prints) it really is senseless to need them. IMO it probably should have taken even less time than it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j28791 Posted September 13, 2018 at 07:05 AM Share Posted September 13, 2018 at 07:05 AM Applied: 5/22/18 (No prints)Approved: 9/11/2018 Basically the full 120 days, the next week would've been the week of 9/22 which would've been 4 months. Checking the statuses on the page by using "inspect element" are useless in my opinion and just a way to waste time while you are anxious. It doesn't make your card come any faster. You will get it when you get it. As many of you have figured out by now there is no queue, it's not that there were a lot of people ahead of you. You would wait the same amount of time if there was no one ahead of you. They just delay it because they don't want you to have it right away.

The 120 days without prints just counts up to the time it goes active, not to the days until received. From active to received can be just a few days but to a few weeks. The main thing is you have not received it within 30 days , it should be reported to ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
