How long does it normally take to receive a handgun license?
If the form is completed properly and the applicant has no background problems, the license is routinely issued in 4 to 8 weeks; however, do to the response for the new lifetime license, the backlog for issuing licenses is approximately 12-14 weeks. The section apologizes and is taking steps to improve the backlog. Please be aware that improperly completed applications and those with background problems may take longer.
