Why does it take so long to get a ltc? I live in a green town and I was told 3 months. You would think with everything done on computers it would be a shorter wait time.

With respects to the OP a renewal really doesn't matter any more with the new processing rules. They removed the 90 day policy. So once you start the process you're all set. In that case that could take 6 months and who cares.

At the end of the day just be happy you'll get an unrestricted license to begin with in this state. 3 months will be past before you know it. It would be nice if it was 2 weeks but some others have it a lot worse.

I believe that this applies only if the licensing authority entered the renewal information into MIRCS prior to the expiration date of the license. If the licensing authority entered the information into MIRCS after the expiration date, then the 90-day grace period applies whereby you cannot buy or sell.
I understood it as: if your renewal information is entered into MIRCS after your expiration date, you have nothing. NO 90 day, nothing.
Swatgig (lawyer) found something in the law that surprised me too and helps add to the confusion.
- IFF the PD enters your renewal in MIRCS (something that we don't control) before expiration, the 1/1/15 law change gives you unlimited grace period until your renewal comes thru. By law you can carry (with whatever restrictions existed on the expired LTC), buy and sell FTF (or thru FFL).
- If for any reason the PD does NOT enter your renewal until AFTER expiration, Swatgig found that you still have a 90 day grace period where you can carry as before. MIRCS won't let you buy/sell anything however.
- If you fail to renew or are beyond the grace period the penalty is merely a $$ fine, no jail time. As long as you keep your old expired LTC or FID (even the lifetime ones) you avoid prison for possession w/o a license. This assumes you weren't denied or suspended/revoked however. Lots of people let their old horse-blanket "lifetime" FIDs expire and never bothered to renew under the "new" system in 1998.
When did you turn in your paperwork? They could be telling you 3 months when they know it'll be less, this gives them some wiggle room. My LO told me "at least 40 or more days" when in fact from fingerprints to LTC in hand was 23 days.
Good luck! hope you hear soon.
