Des Moins county carry permit illegal?

[matt2636]

i dont live in des moins county but i have some family that does. and the story im hearing is the sheriff is whith holding permits for 30 days before they are sent out. i may be wrong on this and im looking it up now but the sheriff cant do that anymore correct? it HAS to be issued (unless you are a felon or what not) if you pass all of the qualifications and backround checks right? no grief and no questions asked right? thats the way i understood it. if everything was passed it was to be issued.

Sheriff is allowed to take 30 days to investigate...

3. The sheriff or commissioner of public safety shall
approve or deny an initial or renewal application submitted
under this section within thirty days of receipt of the
application. A person whose application for a permit under
this chapter is denied may seek review of the denial under
section 724.21A. The failure to approve or deny an initial or
renewal application shall result in a decision of approval.

It legal. Its cowardly. In any other county in Iowa it would cost him his job, but when you're surrounded by that many idiots, he may be performing a request.

alright go it. i was misinformed. it just goes to show that people in power will use whatever power they have just because.

Polk County Sherriff does the same thing. Stretches it out as long as he can before issuing the permit.

Sure did that for me when I applied for mine. Seemed like eternity before I got it in the mail. I was a day away from calling the Sheriff's office when I got mine in the mail. I was sure they had forgotten about me!
