This county sucks. Takes forever and the judge looks for any reason to stall it up. Sounds like you got a judge that is a "gun person" . The one here.... Is not.
I hope they are that quick when I renew next spring ;-)
Can you renew early to avoid being out of the loop?
Now you don't renew it, you have to completely re-apply. When I "re-applied" last year it was $70 plus $5 for fingerprinting at the Sheriff's Dept. It may have even gone up since then, I'm not sure. But make sure you take cash, they don't accept anything else.
Thanks Shovelhead for the name correction, just use to calling it that. I think years ago it was called Georgia Firearms Permit.
More years ago than that it was called a "Pistol Toter's License."
Last January my daughter applied for her GWL on Monday. It arrived in the mail on Wednesday. Taylor County.
