I would suggest to just forget about. Before you know it it will be in your mailbox

Just turned mine in last Friday. Will post up when it comes in. Did the digital fingerprints, so hopefully everything will go smoothly.

Don't know in LA, but in Arkansas if you do the application on-line it cuts the wait time a lot. Got mine in 3 weeks after turning in certificate, including having to do prints 3 times

There is a thread on bayou shooter about wait times for conceal carry applications. I did my fingerprints in baton Rouge at the police barracks. Took less then 2 weeks for it to come in.

Sounds like it's improved from spring '11 when I submitted mine. Using digital prints, still took 12 weeks from time I submitted the packet.

$7.50 at the police department, walk out with card in hand. The next year they mail you a card to send back in with the money so you can just have it mailed to you before your current expires. Gotta love alabama

About a month

Thanks everybody! Hope to the picture done this week and mail it next. Will update when I get it.

It took them about 90 days to tell me that they had rejected my fingerprints

If your prints are done in BR on the digital scanner at LSP HQ, they won't be rejected. Period.

And they'll be submitted electronically for your criminal background check.

And they will review your application, while you stand there, to make sure you didn't skip anything on the app.

My secretary got hers in 8 business days. I got my renewal in 11 business days. Lots of folks on Bayou Shooter report getting theirs in 2-3 weeks.

To get yours approved promptly (if you live within a reasonable distance of BR), get your application packet ready (forms notarized, photo, etc), and carry that packet with you when you go to LSP to get printed. After your prints have been run, walk about 20 feet down the hall and tell them you want to submit your application. Someone from the Concealed Handgun Permit Unit will walk down and look over your forms.

If you live in the Frozen Nawth (Shreveport, Monroe, et al), I don't know what to say except try to find a local agency that has a digital scanner. (We were told by LSP a year ago that approximately 40% of the "ink & roll" prints get rejected.)

Hope this helps.

My grandmother did

Don't know how long it took
