Do NOT try this. A friend several years ago was pulled over for speeding. The cop asked him to get out of the car, which my friend did, leaving his range bag, with his LTCH and pistol in it, in the car.
The cop asked "any weapons?" My friend says "yes, in the car, and I have a license." But, since the license was NOT on his person, he got arrested for "carrying a handgun without a permit." It actually went to trial - "not guilty," but it ended up costing him many thousands of dollars.
SO - if your handgun AND your license are in your car - you will be "possessing" the handgun, but NOT possessing" your license. If you haven't even gotten your license because it got lost in the mail, it's probably a capital offense.
The lesson is: If "officer friendly" asks, don't tell. You don't know if he's a good guy or one of the jack-booted thugs.
I'm sorry but I'm going to have to call BS on this. The details seem scketchy. What department and when? I have the ability to find out if this really happened. For the record I'm not trying to start an arguement....I just don't like the idea of people running around taking rumor for legal fact.
It looks like 8 weeks is the magic number right now. I mailed my app to the ISP on March 4. I sent it certified. ISP signed for it on March 9. My Lifetime LTCH permit was issues on April 28 and I received it yesterday May 1. 8 weeks and 1 day from the day I mailed it.

Well after saying hi to the mail man today and still no gun permit i called the State Police once again to see what is going on. Seeing I was told to call back in three weeks if it still did not show up. Well the nice lady told me that my permit was processed and issued as of yesterday and will show up anytime whenever the mail man does his thing.
But it was issued 3 days ago (as of today), & I said "about" 7 1/2. Its 8 weeks really, however we look at it. I think the temp. help they hired must be speeding things up a bit. Btw, didnt you send yours around that same time, tv1217?If he did it on the 11th, then tomorrow is 8 weeks to the day.
