We shall see . . . . . . . Very, very professional and courteous. The lady handled it like she'd done it a million times and it was commonplace. None of the "issues" others have mentioned about other counties. Dunno if it's practice at all SO's but they gave me a couple gun locks for free as well.

The police get free locks from the Joyce Foundation folks. It's a way to get everyone on board for "reasonable" gun lock rules

Does this mean we could bankrupt Joyce by taking locks for all of our firearms? |

Here is the group that supplies the locks: http://www.projectchildsafe.org/ No idea about the motivation, but I feel better having them on the lesser used firearms with a curious toddler around... (God forbid I leave the safe open) |

The lady at the desk in Hastings really is a sweetheart. They must still be having computer "issues".

34 days for me. I have been calling every day this week. They keep telling me that the approving office is out sick. Maybe you will have better luck. 651-437-4211 Option 2 to skip the 911 message Option 4 for "Administration or Records" Option 2 for "Records" |

I just spoke to Sherrif Gudmundson, who was very polite, apologized, and said he would sign it and get it out in the mail today. He also said that they requested $$ in the budget to have another staffer on to handle the permits. |

Dude, thanks for the number and options. I flew right through. After a few second pause, the female on the other ends said it is in a big pile. I said okay, what does that mean? After another pause, she said it would be going out on Wednesday since tomorrow is a holiday. I didn't bother asking why it didn't make today's mail. So, in theory, I should have the card by Saturday, at the latest (yes, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for snail mail, though I probably shouldn't be doing so). |
