Arkansas Concealed Handguns?

Question

After waiting 6 months for a reply from the Arkansas State Police, I emailed them asking what the deal was with my CHL. The reply I got was, "It looks like you will need to complete 2 more fingerprint cards. Please contact your instructor to get those cards and send them to me." First of all I thought whenever they needed additional information from you they sent their request via snail mail. When additional fingerprint cards are needed I thought they sent the cards with their request rather than me having to contact them first and providing my own fingerprint cards. My main question is for Arkansas CHL holders who have had to provide additional fingerprint cards. How long did it take to get your CHL after they recieved your cards. Please include how long you have had your CHL. All I'm getting from the ASP is open-ended answers with no clarification.

I asked," Will my cards be sent to review before other new applicants? Or, do I have another two months to wait?" I was told, "It shouldn’t take as long to process once we receive those 2 cards. But please do give us at least 2 months to respond." A total of 8 months seems kind of rediculous when the law says they have 120 days to " issue or deny." But of course the law is only good for me and they are not held to the same standard.

For any of you whos answer revolves around sueing ASP.... Save it. Thanks

Go here-

this,at least, is the law[subject to the usual disclaimers.]
Re the 120 day thing- since you have not been denied,
are you now permitted? Ask them.

Answer 2

It will never get done, and you should bring suit against them. It's going to be your best route, it's a shame you didn't want to hear it.
