Carry Permit Remider....don't forget to renew

[smdave]

with all this talk of expiration dates I thought I had better check mine and it is due in june, set a date on my phone to remind me.

Remember you can renew up to 90 days before so you can do it any time.

So I too spaced renewing mine this year.  Mine xpired in August, and I remembered last month.  Thankfully I was still within the time line to renew vs reapply.

 One question though, would my expired permit still be honored inside that grace period after expiration?    I wonder?  Expired means expired, but my new permit is back dated to August which points again to a grace period on honoring it.  I did continue to carry but kept my expired permit on me as well as the receipt for my re-up.       I figured I would be at the discretion of the a LEO if something were to arise, but then is see my back dated permit and am now thinking I was covered???

That's the tough part of a carry permit.  They don't expire on your birthday like your driver's license does, so you have to keep track of it.  I renewed mine a while back, and it's $32 to renew.  That's about half what an original application costs!

I set my outlook reminder for a few weeks before, but then I happened to not check my email for like a month and missed the reminder, so I ended up renewing late and having to pay extra. I didn't realize you can renew early though, so once I get my new permit I am going to set my reminder like 120 days in advance of my expiration date, an hopefully will not have to pay more next time.

For the extra $3 it well worth getting it laminated, hey get really ragged after five years in you don't get it laminated.

Still though.....my own fault. Went in yesterday and had a good experience at the local Lake Stevens PD.....I'm all renewed.

  Yeah, when I renewed mine, I filled out the form, answering all the questions, and as I handed the form to the lady at the window I said: "I never realized I led such a dull life!" She laughed and said "That's not necessarily a bad thing!"
