How long does the new Concealed Carry Weapon process take?

Please be patient. The processing time for a new CCW varies, and usually takes 6 months or more to complete. Interview appointments are booked at the time an online application is submitted. Interview appointments are generally booked about 3 months out. Live Scan results from Department of Justice can take up to 4 months to be received by our agency. For more information, contact the Concealed Carry Weapons office.
