Hm, I'm a little upset now with my overall experience after reading the replies in this thread.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears you guys are using L-1, going local and paying $50 and a few days later you receive your LTCH in the mail?
Well that's not how mine is going so far at all. I gave the lady at the local PD $50 and she said she would call me in "about a week" when my background check came back..I won't get my LTCH in about a week..I don't even start that process. I guess there is a local background check you guys are skipping somehow?
Damnit I'm always the unlucky one going through 3 more holes than the next guy.[/quote
The L1 Security Solutions printing and background check is a entirely separate operation from applying online through ISP or going to your local LEO. They are a private contractor that he State allows to do background checks. If you go to the ISP web sight to apply online you are given the option to use L1 Security for an adittiona $10.95 charge. If you choose that option and click on it it redirects you to L1's web page,. Once there you make an appointment to go to one of THEIR (L1's) offices to be printed. once having done that you then carry the paper work they give you to your city or county LEO office pay the $50.00 local and $75.00 state fees and then either mail the application you have now filled out yourself or in the case of Marion County for example they mail it for you. The ones that have added this extra step of going to L1 first before going to their local LEO are the ones getting their permits in less than a week. Merely applying online with the ISP and not going through the L1 option DOES NOT expedite the handling of your application. All it does is save the clerk at the City/County the time it takes them to type up your application for you.

You misunderstood. I applied online. I paid my $85.95 electronically AND I went to L-1 and was fingerprinted. After going to L-1, I went to the local PD. I paid $50.00, was not fingerprinted again and was told I'd be called in a week when my background check came in.
I didn't just go in and pay $50.00 like everyone else and have them mail it or give to me to mail the same day..I have a week in front where I have to wait for local to do a background check.

Wow! Yeah whatever your deal is there it is a local thing but if you don't say what county you are in no one else can benefit from your experience as it differs by county or city, somewhat tied to the whims of whoever is in charge in that jurisdiction. Hell of a way to run a railroad but that's the way it is.
Yeah, I've stated in my initial post on the sticky that I am in Wayne county. I don't get what the extra hoop is for but I hope they process it and call me. If I don't get a call this tuesday, I'm going to go down there and exercise my freedom of speech :P
I did my L1 on 6/29 and still waiting.I was fingerprinted via L-1 on Saturday and sent my application yesterday. Even with the (hopefully) quick turnaround you guys have been getting with L-1 this is going to feel like forever.
have you called them? that just seems to long for L1I did my L1 on 6/29 and still waiting.
