So last month I put in my application to renew my permit. not thinking anything of it I put in my application about 30 days before my current permit expires. By law Maine residents are supposed to be notified within 30 days whether the permit has been approved or not. it is 60 days for non-residents. So when I hit the 30 day mark and I didn't hear anything I called the local P.D. and inquired about my permit. I was told there was a backlog getting the back ground checks done through the state and I am looking at another 4-8 weeks before my permit would be ready. I was like "say that again". So my permit is now expired and I am forced to leave my guns at home when I go anywhere. I have had my ccw permit for 16 years now and have never had anything like this happen when I had to renew it.
Yesterday I was telling my friend about this and he told me about the article linked below that was in the paper.
So the moral of my rant is if you have a Maine permit and it needs to be renewed anytime soon I would get that application put in about 3 months early. I unfortunately am a victim of bad timing.
Also, if you are looking to apply for a Maine permit for the first time be prepared to wait for quite awhile.
