Ralffers Posted February 19, 2016 at 08:19 AM Share Posted February 19, 2016 at 08:19 AM I applied for my CCL on December 27; this coming Sunday will be 8 weeks – and my status remains "under review". Considering that I've heard from many people (including my instructor and fingerprint vendor) that many applicants receive their licenses within 60 days, I'm worried I'm going to be denied. Thing is, I have never been arrested or charged with anything and don't have any DUIs either. Albeit, I have read on here that some folks got denied for no reason... :-( Thoughts?

RANDY Posted February 19, 2016 at 08:54 AM Share Posted February 19, 2016 at 08:54 AM if you are not listed as under board review you are probably fine. they have 90 days with prints and 120 days without and you are just now at 60 so most likely within the next couple weeks or so you should go active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly B. Posted February 19, 2016 at 11:00 AM Share Posted February 19, 2016 at 11:00 AM Averaging about 45-60 days with prints, about 85-90 without. But some still take the full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARFACE Posted February 19, 2016 at 11:36 AM Share Posted February 19, 2016 at 11:36 AM I applied a year ago and it took 98 days with prints to get my permit with no LEO objections and never went to the board. I know its hard to wait but your waiting time isn't unusual. I just wonder why, after all the millions of dollars we have injected into the ISP, that they are still pathetically slow at getting permits out?

CShel24 Posted February 19, 2016 at 11:52 AM Share Posted February 19, 2016 at 11:52 AM Well, I am still at QC-Verified "Under Review", tomorrow will mark day #60 (with prints) for me. I have not gotten any letters saying anything about any objections. *knock on wood* I have no arrests, no police involvement of any kind. I have that going for me. Working against me, I have had like 5 addresses within the last year, and I share a name with a family of criminals, but I believe that whole crew is long, long gone. I did have a divorce... but I was the plaintiff, and it was uncontested. I am impatiently waiting. Maybe I have logged into the site too much and they flagged me as being annoying or something. I know it took a very long time to get my FOID card replaced with a new address. Sadly, I had a license in another state, and it was a very simple process.

Bubbacs Posted February 19, 2016 at 02:53 PM Share Posted February 19, 2016 at 02:53 PM @Ralffers 56 days this Sunday, keep in mind that Holidays will affect the outcome somewhat.You applied at the height of the busy season last year and as posted elsewhere on here, they are swamped with apps.Since your in Crook County, it might be a bit longer, Sheriff Lawn Dart loves to deny peeps, but if your past the 30 days that's prob not the issue anyway. Relieve some stress and check the portal every other day, (I checked every 4 hours....OCD), it will pop up Active soon.

You know, I didn't even think about the holidays and how that does slow things down, especially in Illinois! It's nice to be reassured that everything is most likely fine. After thinking about it some more this morning, I thought, Lawn Dart being who he is, I thought I got denied or would be denied because of my disability (I have slight-moderate Cerebral Palsy). Basically, that means I walk with forearm crutches and use a wheelchair when I need both hands (i.e., when I'm at the range). I'm positive Dart would LOVE to deny me because of my disability, but he can't. I'm a freaking gun safety Nazi and my hands aren't effected by the CP at all. There is no firearm of the civilian variety I can't handle I'm definitely going to relieve some stress... First by going to the range this Saturday, and then doing some reading. When I first got into firearms 18 months ago I used to be on the forums all the time – and as of late I've gotten lazy with that. I need to remind myself that I always and without end always have something new to learn... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videopaul Posted February 19, 2016 at 04:13 PM Share Posted February 19, 2016 at 04:13 PM @Ralffers Suffered a stroke Jan 31 2014 at 2345. My license came in the mail while I was in a coma. I was fired by my employer for having had a stroke in violation of the ADA. Fought them tooth and nail and got my job back. I'm back at work full time with a class "C" drivers license and an even better gig than I had before the stroke. Just fought the DuPage states attorney and won getting some firearms returned.

Ralffers Posted February 19, 2016 at 04:19 PM Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 at 04:19 PM Thank you all for the replies and feedback. It's a relief knowing everything is most likely fine. We'll see which comes first, my CCL or my Sig P229 Legion... (Have been waiting 11 weeks on it and am likewise growing really impatient. Of course, having more time on my hands than I know what to do with due to recovering from major abdominal surgery (not at all related to my disability) doesn't help matters... I need to find something to keep myself busy with. (But, God, I love that gun! It shoots like a dream!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CShel24 Posted February 20, 2016 at 03:05 AM Share Posted February 20, 2016 at 03:05 AM I guess for those of us who submitted in December.... Christmas, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Groundhog Day, Lincoln's Birthday, President's Day. Those should probably be deducted from the wait-time.

Ralffers Posted February 25, 2016 at 04:27 PM Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 at 04:27 PM Damn it, I just realized that I may in fact get denied. Reason being is I have some unpaid traffic tickets. One is a speeding ticket that I just paid, but it'll only be reported on Monday that it was paid. Originally, I was given supervision and a year to pay. I have since forgot about it until now, and now I'm wondering if it goes back on my record since I'm paying it overdue? Supervision made it so that originally it wasn't going to be on record. The second ticket, which is also overdue is one that I just got and will be paying by snail mail this week (paying online unfortunately isn't an option at this point). It's for a burned out headlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
