Well, we got it. My wife was fingerprinted on 7/6, we paid local on 7/10 (she had a conversation with him while she watched him send it on in fact), issued on 7/14, received today, 7/20.
Congratulations. Jealous!!! I'm just sitting around waiting...
I went down to the WPD office today, and this time there was a different woman at the front desk. She said 4 week wait times (or more) are normal, and she usually tells people 4-5 weeks (the first lady told me to check back in 2 weeks if I had not heard anything). This new lady said she is the lady that processes them, so I am trusting her response more so than the first person I talked to. She also said that the Chief needs to sign off on them, and he had been out on vacation (due back "tomorrow"). She said I should expect to wait another 3-4 weeks.
Sheesh. I am disappointed, but I guess "it is what it is". Patience is not one of my strong suites!
Overall, she was very nice about it, but just that it would take longer. She did acknowledge that she had my application, which is a good thing! Sounds like this is going to take 7-8 weeks total.

Finally got my LTCG today. (2 days shy of 5 weeks.)
Submitted to Westfield Police Department on 6/25
Approved on 7/23
Received on 7/28
Congrats!
Still, in this click, click world that is absurd knowing the wife got hers in under 1 week.
Done application 7-20, fingerprints and paid local law enforcement fee 7-21, approved 7-27, waiting for it to come in the mail any day now.
Got my pink (still ??????????) card Tuesday, so 17 days after I paid my final unConstitutional extortion fee.
I applied for mine May 1st, was approved lifetime May 22nd, and I still have not received it. I wonder what the holdup is? I am tempted to apply for a duplicate card and see what happens.
