Unless we start to see a couple more like this I wouldn't get too riled up about this ONE second hand account. Yesterday was the first time I read of someone mailing as late as the 3rd and receiving a permit. But if it's at all true it might be good for me...I also wasn't able to mail until the 8th...but as of yesterday the money order wasn't cashed.

I am monitoring this information in a number of places. Other than this report, nothing MAILED later than Nov. 3 has been processed.

It Isn't Second Hand When I See It Right In Front Of My Eyes...

She has it in hand. No second hand account at all...first hand account.


And...today is another day I don't have my license. Still nothing for me. I'm starting to believe the D.O.J. lost it or the mail person put it in someone else's box.

And to add I just received a call stating that she actually MAILED it on the 1st...check cleared on the 8th. She was confused. My apologies to all for stirring the pot!

Correction

Mailed mine on the 1st. Check posted on the 10th, still nothing. Acquaintance mailed hers on the 8TH...received her license YESTERDAY..the 17th! This makes no sense at all.

I happen to know the acquaintance that rcawdor57 is speaking of, happens to be my sister. I have a correction to make, she has now informed me that she sent her application in on th 1st, check cleared on the 8TH, and received it yesterday. Her permit number was in the 4300 something range. It also states it was issued on the 9th. Hope this helps. Sorry for the confusions.

OK. Now that makes more sense. Sheesh...I was wondering if the D.O.J. had just dumped all the mail from the first week in their broom closet and said "The heck with that?".

The average is around 500 license numbers assigned per day.

As they have become more experienced and probably adjusted some procedures, as well as reduced requirements Nov. 8th, for training and documentation of training, they are probably more like 600-700 per day now, and only 200-300 the first couple days.

We do not know if rejected or denied licenses have a license# assigned, probably not.

----------

There has been more information added to the Wisconsin DOJ CCW web page.

It now has a link to the "Most frequent reasons for application rejection:"

1. Applicant used an out-of-state CCW license as proof of training, but did not enclose the required affirmation form (DJ-LE-289) stating the license was not revoked for cause.

2. Applicant improperly completed the application. Example 1: the applicant left parts of the form blank (such as name, driver license number, or address). Example 2: the information entered was clearly incorrect (year of birth was 1096).

3. Applicant appears to have not read questions before answering them. For example, applicants have checked they are not at least 21 years of age, even though the year of birth they wrote on the form would suggest they are over 40.

4. Applicant submitted a training certificate as proof of training, but the certificate did not include the name of the instructor or did not specify what national or state organization certified the instructor.

5. Applicant submitted a DD-214 as proof of training, but the DD-214 did not show an “honorable” or “general under honorable conditions” discharge.

People with clean records get held up at the backround check all the time sure everyone will get theirs. With that said I'd be bitchin too.


Yeah, I'd buy that, except it takes the FFL longer to dial the phone and enter the information for my firearms than it does to receive the all okay from the NICS system. I'm generally in and out of the store in about 10 minutes...unless I end up shooting the chit with the employees there, then it can take a good while longer. And no, I don't always use the same FFL, I try to keep all of our stores in business<g>

Oh yeah, still not here today, no problems getting my bills in the mail tho<sigh> Oh well, I got a week's vacation to go chase bambi starting tonight to ease my pain.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Just came across this forum as I'm a new member. I'm in the same boat as quite a few here, still playing the waiting game!

11/3 --- Application, Check, & Training Requirements Sent Out.

11/15 --- Check Cleared Bank.

11/24 --- No Permit, No Mail, Plenty Of Turkey.

11/25 --- ????? If Not Received, Another Turkey Will Be Sacrificed.

Will wait IMPATIENTLY, but until then I'll just Open-Carry where I know I can. I just don't like some of the stares I get when I do.

Yes it is nice to see someone close to my area on here. Looks like you sent out everything on the same day, with the same credentials. Hoping it arrives today, but too bad I won't be able to use it if it does. I'm an OTR Truck Driver, and won't be back home for two more weeks.

Woo Hoo! I'm doing the Happy Dance! Just received a call, and guess what showed up!

11/3 --- Application, Check, & Training Requirements Sent Out.

11/15 --- Check Cleared Bank.

11/22 --- Permit Issued

11/25 --- Permit Received #12***

Now I just have to anxiously play the waiting game to get home to put it to use. But that will take another two weeks! :'( I'm an OTR Transporter of All, and I'm currently in Texas. Bummed!

Now the question is what will be my first choice to CCW! I've got a few choices at home in the safe, plus one I need to pick up from my FFL. Let's see, such a difficult choice:

Glock Gen 4 G23
S&W M&P9
S&W SD9
Colt Lightweight Commander XSE (Need to pick up and range test first)

I'm really leaning towards the SD9 first, I really like the gun. But I plan on going with the Colt once I'm familiar with it.
