When they went “Shall Issue” here in Iowa, they were completely inundated for about the first 6-8 weeks. It was taking about 30 days.
I waited until about the third month. Walked into the Sheriffs office and walked out with my permit in about 15 minutes.
It makes me so mad that the Cheesehead DOJ waited this long to get their act together. They should have been processing applications weeks ago. grrrrrrr
