Washington WA CPL Renewal at 43 Days and Counting.

[bikemutt]

I specifically asked if this was the case, and they specifically said no. If your permit is expired, and you've not yet received the renewal/replacement, you do not have a current permit.

And when I said I came in as soon as I received the expiration notice, they were surprised I received an expiration notice.

I may have recalled when we moved from King to Clark County. Our Renton-acquired CPLs were still valid, accordingly there was no need for receipt coverage. At my age I get to slip up

FWIW, I called Vancouver PD this afternoon. They do issue CPLs, I was told 30 days is the turnaround. I'll give them a try when the time comes,

Arizona does mine by mail too, so easy. Oregon requires a visit.

I'm sure once this legislative session ends Washington will move beyond just sucking

Starting to wonder if I should just order an ALS holster now to have some retention for open carry if this trend continues.

Curious if LESA (Law Enforcement Support Agency) gives you proof of when you started the process for renewing?

I just renewed my out of state in Vancouver yesterday and was told 60 days, which will put me well past due. My old one was paper and though they touted the new one as plastic with a photo no picture was taken. i did get a receipt for my fees showing process started.
I have Utah also so not worried about the delay, and for the last year pondered letting the Washington state expire as they are covered by reciprocity with Utah. But pressing and ongoing mistrust of Washington's Governmental direction kept giving me thoughts of Washington dropping reciprocity at some future date co chickened out and reapplied to be safe.

83 days and I finally received my Clark County renewal today.

That means I should get mine right around the time the current one expires. Glad I did the renewal as soon as the 90 day window opened.

I may be incorrect, but isn't it a law to have it within 30 days?

 

[DLS]

Yep, that's the law.

So, what can you do about it?
Are you going to call the Sheriff to report the Sheriff broke the law and didn't deliver your permit on time?
There are no consequences for them. Unless you are willing to sue in court, they will do whatever they want.

Two pretty obvious options.

1. You could take a copy of the law and mail it to the city attorney and say that you will be bringing a suet against the city if you don't have your CPL in 5 days.

2. You can sue.

What would I do? I'd consider doing #1 first, but I'm sure as hell not going to wait 90 days for my 'permission slip' to conceal carry. It's complete bs that a right requires a permit, so yes, I would sue. It's pretty clear cut. The law is the law - they are breaking it. If they can't follow it, than it needs to be disbanded because clearly it is is problematic for the citizen to follow the law when the .gov can't even do it.

In Renton, Wa it took 7 days to get my CPL renewed. Maybe Clark county is run by a bunch of anti folks.

Snohomish Co is mailing renewals, dont even have to pick it up, I'm at 6 weeks wait though.

The last time I checked, they had started fingerprinting again.
