Title: No CPl still?
Post by: EmeraldBullet on January 04, 2017, 11:00:11 PM: Applied for my CPL on December 1st. Still no letter or anything...Think it's just taking longer because of the holidays? Does it normally take longer than the 30 days they say it will take? Thanks again everyone.

I had the same problem at sno co courthouse with sheriffs, at 31 days I went to get mine, nope, I quoted the rcw and was told, I don't care what the law says. I went home and called legislater, they made a few phonecalls, called me back and said I could go pickup my permit. That was in the 80s. Call your legislative rep.

Interesting that the holidays were on Sunday and even if they took the Mondays off, that's two extra days. Call your State Representative.

As always, double check with the state before you get there.
