CharlesC,
Chesapeake made it clear to my friend he would not get his permit one day early. It was made clear that was there policy/practice/SOP. This is not about how long it 'takes', this is about how long they can drag there feet before having to give permission for someone to exercise a right. They dont want to do it.

It is probably just a backlog. Fairfax county gets dozens of permit applications a day. They have to conduct 50 state background checks on every applicant and verify all the data on the form. While one application may not take long, I'm sure they add up.
I imagine over a week or 2 is taken up just getting routed across the hall to a judge. Then a judge probably has to read each petition and all the officer notes to verify that it is ok before he signs off on it. You know that any officer or judge that approves a CCP will be raked over the coals if the applicant turns out to be some nutcase or psycho.
I imagine they have to check veteran status or to see if somonehas a dishonorable discharge and dealing with the VA take ages.
I would bet that many applications are signed on the last day even before all the background info gets returned. As long as there are no red-flags, they would have to approve the application.
Its still faster than getting a Passport or info back from the IRS on an audit!
