Applied yesterday. The CCW guy was in a good mood. I was the only one in there and was able to leave in about 5 mins as I prefilled all my paperwork. As I was leaving a group of 3 guys were waiting (all friends). Went about 4:30.

I got a 4 year ccw, no need to be paranoid everyone in hpd isn't against you.  Plenty supporters, others just doing their jobs.  Only probably a few anti's.

Nobody here said, "Everyone in HPD is against" them.  Nobody but you.

The reality is the police officers and civilian employers follow the policies and orders dictated by the Chief.

Only one person needs to be against you.  The rest of the department's motives don't matter.

Forgot to post this.

I had to bring exact cash of $150. That was the only amount collected from me to apply for the CCW. They didn't even ask about RAPBACK, but it's on their system anyways. IDK if one has to be in this to get their CCW, which means you gotta pay that too.

Because I have Straub, I had to fill out a form that isn't online. Same goes if you have Kaiser, so make sure you do this in case the officer doesn't bring it up. The guy who helped me brought it up.

By prefilling out all my forms, this saved a lot of time. I was done in less than 7 minutes. I also made copies of the affidavits, but did bring the originals in case HPD has to make copies. They accepted the ones I brought.  Again, time saving. But they did have to make copy of my drivers license.

So my LTC is supposed to expire in July. Seeing how long it takes to get approved, should I retake the CCW class now and submit for renewal?

Are there any rules on submitting an application with a pistol you are already approved for?

if they follow the same policies as for renewing long gun permits, they won't accept a LTC renewal app earlier than the amount of time they SAY it takes to get the renewal.  So, if they say it's a 60-day max time between application and issue, then you can't renew sooner than 60 days out.

Their rationale is they don't want you to have overlapping permits/licenses.  The renewal is issued no sooner than the day the previous one expires.

Not sure what you mean by "a pistol you are already approved for."  The rules for which pistols you can carry don't change with renewal.  If you want to add another pistol to your CCW rotation, you need separate applications for each one.  If you had a Glock on your old LTC, and you want to change to a Sig, you can no longer carry the Glock -- that LTC expired.  Have to apply separately for the Glock and Sig to legally carry either.

And Hawaii, the "special place" state known for its "unique" Aloha Spirit, will grudgingly acknowledge that you have the right to carry a firearm for self-defense.

But Lordy, Lordy, will you pay through your nose to do so.

After 1 year and 2 months, my friend finally go this CCW.

I got a reminder for CCW renewal in the mail yesterday.  Reminder within the 90 day window, directions to renew, etc. . . very helpful. . .



. . . from Arizona department of (whoever administers their CCW)

I also need to renew my Utah.  That seems quite easy as well. . .

I read the 1st part and no way HI would do this.  NV doesn't even do this. Maybe AZ needs the money since I'm sure their CCW apps dropped after passing constitutional carry.

The metered stalls in front HPD HQ are for HPD vehicles only until 7/1.

Got my CCW today, took 84 days.  I was once again granted my right by HPD/County/State.

Another food for thought.  WHen I first was granted a CCW, not only did I have to submit 2 passport photo's, but they also took my photo when I picked up the CCW card and used that pic on it.

Now, you have to submit 1 passport photo and take a pic when turning in your app.  There is no pic taken when you pick up your CCW card.  Which means, HPD could easily mail me the card when they mail the approval letter.  NV mailed my CCW to me.  Having to pick it up in person is BS.  And when I picked it up, the cop asked me if I brought my approval letter. I didn't.  I mean, even if I did, was he solely going to use that to create the card?  I mean, there's no way anyone would forge a paper letter right?

They staple the LTC payment receipt with serial #'s to the letter just above serial #'s on the letter and probably make a copy.

I was given my payment receipt when i submitted my app. It showed paid $150.

Upon getting my ccw, i was also given a receipt with a diff serial # that just said "paid" on it.

Renewed my Utah via online. The hardest part was getting a nice passport pic.

Did my CCW application this past and I have to say went pretty smoothly.  Some hiccups, but mostly based on a$$umptions I made.

I got there early and didn't have to wait long.  Seems like new (new to me) staffing has two officers at the windows doing PTA, and two other staff/officers doing specifically CCW.  Sure, some do both, but since the CCW process does take a bit of time, having the officers who (appear) to focus on CCW really helps.  There was a line that formed after the guy and I who got in the same time did both PTA and CCW, but long story short is the line went VERY quickly, where the line of at least 6 behind us was gone by the time I was done.

Hightlights:
1) Forms.  If you are doing PTA and CCW, you need separate forms for each.  I has assumed the questionnaire could be used for both, but need one for each.  Not a big deal, just took a bit of time to complete a second one for the CCW packet.
2) Be sure to put N/A in all the spaces that don't apply.  I had mine filled out ok, but I did noticed others having to do so.  Again, not a big deal, but does take a bit of time.  There were a couple of spaces where the info said "if available" that I filled out. 
3) The officer(s) doing CCW will walk line be line through your application packet, I assume to verify completion and prevent hold ups from simple errors and/or missing info. 
4) If you did registration for your pistols online, they will have you sign and print the registration for the CCW package.  Again, not a big deal, but does add to the time. 

Overall, it was a smooth process.  If I had all the forms completed, I would say it would have taken maybe 10 minutes.  I probably spent more time filling out the PTA paperwork for both pistol and long gun permit renewal.  While I was there, seems like a lot of confusion on the CCW process, which the officers helped walk through folks.  At least the two that were there when I went.  Yeah, the process has lots of steps, like having specific pistols, but the process is what it is.  I was also given some advice/tips if/when adding other pistols to the CCW.  About adding, vice new process.  I'll likely go through that before too long as I have at least two pistols "in process" that I may want to CCW.
