The chiefs rules state you can apply within 90 days of your expiration. But not within 30 days.
We have not done our renewals because we speculate the following:
1) Since our CCW's don't XP until Jan 2024, HPD will say our renewal procedure is incomplete as the law changed on 1/1/24. We could have submitted 90 days out, but as CCW's take a while to issue and there is no time stated in the law on when HPD has to issue them, HPD will hold until 1/1/24, then send out the incomplete/denial letter.
2) Why do I think the above will happen, after Bruen hundreds of people applied. Logan could have issued CCW's under the current rules, but waited until new rules were completed. Then EVERY applicant was told they have 60 days to submit the additional info, which was basicialy a re-do of everything. The law had no timeframe to issue CCW's, so Logan held off on approving as he wished.
3) We didn't want to spend the time and money to take a gamble if our CCW"s would be renewed. Keep in mind the long waits at HPD now for the past few months. And having to come back because "information was missing".
4) HPD won't issue 2 CCW's for the same gun. Which means they cannot have our renewal effective before the current one expires. Like how you cannot have 2 rifle permits at a time.
So has anyone begun the renewal process?
We will wait until the new law takes effect and a 4 year CCW is issued. My ETA when the 1st new course will be available is April. As I suspect the chiefs rules needs another hearing.
