This is really getting out of control. I am a retired state officer with over 20 years experience handling all types of firearms. I have had a concealed handgum permit for the last 6 years and am presently awaiting for my renewal license which expired on 12-10-12. I turned in all my paperwork for the renewal 60 days prior to the expiration of my license as required by the sheriffs dept. i was informed that this was the earliest i could start the renewal process. Now I can not even go purchase a new weapon until they issue new license
