I spoke with Utah BCI late today and they informed me that the current processing time for a permit is 4 months (including mailing time).
Yes, I know what the law says (60 days) and that is what I was told to tell folks in class during my instructor course, but the reality is that BCI does an outstanding job with limited staff and office space and they are simply overwhelmed with permit applications.
So, my advice and humble request is PLEASE do not call BCI unless this amount of time has elapsed. Inundating them with telephone calls only keeps them from processing permit applications.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is always my intention to provide accurate information, so I wanted to share this with everyone ASAP. I guess the only solace I can offer is that good things come to those who wait.
Regards,
Jim
