I have a CHL and had another BGC done a few months ago. I don't use the CHL on the paperwork though so it probably wouldn't be seen until I had the actual BGC done. It's all a matter of waiting behind others getting their BGC done. I never do a BGC on the weekend. Especially when there is a gun show going on. FWIW, over the last few years fastest wait time was 5 minutes, slowest slightly over an hour. Most have been within 30 minutes on a weekday. Worst experience I ever had on a BGC/gun check was when the handgun came back stolen after online purchase from an out of state gun shop. Police got the gun, I got my money back. Shop had originally purchased the unclaimed gun from the local PD who never bothered clearing it from the national database.Two questions, do you have a CHL and/or have you had a BGC done recently?
Going through past posts and I'm calculating ~275 BGC/day. So I was expecting 10-12 days for you which worked out. My prediction is I'll get a call between September 5-7.Day 12 and I finally got the call! Going to pick it up in a little bit.
Hopefully getting my CHL will help with future purchases. I have that appointment on December 9th.(I applied a week and a half ago I think).Going through past posts and I'm calculating ~275 BGC/day.

Good lord, if you're in MultCo, unless they've changed their SOP, your wait time starts in December.Hopefully getting my CHL will help with future purchases. I have that appointment on December 9th.(I applied a week and a half ago I think).
I am in Multnomah county. I have already received the email saying my appointment is December 9th. There's a waiting period after?Good lord, if you're in MultCo, unless they've changed their SOP, your wait time starts in December.
By law, the county has a set time to issue or deny your permit. MultCo found a way around that by claiming the clock starts at your appointment. All other counties, in general non pandemic times, are drop off same day. The clock doesn't start in MultCo until you drop off the paperwork, which is December.I am in Multnomah county.

So the paperwork I did online isn't "THE paperwork"? Good lord, these regulations are crazy. I finally realize how naive I was before I thought about purchasing a firearm.By law, the county has a set time to issue or deny your permit.

Did you fill out the application online or are you supposed to drop it off? They didn't have anything online when I did it. They made you bring in the application and whatnot, then they take your picture and fingerprints; that's when the clock started.So the paperwork I did online isn't "THE paperwork"?

The instructions sounds like they're not doing the BGC until after your appointment.
Did pay online?I filled the paperwork out online, but maybe there's more?
No, the fee will be collected during the appointment. It's going to be a while, isn't it?Did pay online?
