Well, patience is a virtue I sent the applications and all required materials including my course completion for the CCDW permit on the 15th of September. They cashed my check within a few business days but I am not hedging on a miracle turnaround time. I have been open carrying at home and on my property and it is becoming second nature to carry. Just looking forward to getting the permit and I heard that the process in NCC is getting better so maybe before the new year arises, I may get the permit. Still, I will just assume around March and be pleasantly surprised if it comes before then.
