    Happy to report, In the mailbox yesterday evening. 5 weeks 2 days from confirmed submittal date in my previous post. The information in this thread helped me to understand that the original submission of documents didn't happen because of the lack of a response email from DPS-RSD. It prompted me to return to IDENTOGO and let them know to resubmit the paperwork. Hope this encourages you as you pursue obtaining your own carry permit.

    finally got my renewal, 2.5 months later. i had to get my state rep in on the fight. i emailed her on a wednesday, her aide emailed me back on thursday to let me know he was contacting DPS to find out what the deal was. on friday the supervisor for LTC emailed me and said my renewal was approved and mailed that day. i should've contacted my rep earlier. now i can legally OC :p

    All forms received 3/28. Applying under 21 with the military clause. Two months later they send me a letter telling me they want another copy of my CAC card (which I uploaded) to verify my special condition. Immediately sent another copy, still waiting. Called last week asking if they had received all the forms they needed and I was conveniently told that my application had JUST entered processing, that very day too! What a coincidence.

    Now it's just waiting background check and application review, supposedly. Anyone have any tips on how I can get them to push this through? It's getting ridiculous at this point, I feel like they're just trying to stall until I'm 21.
