Well, I couldn't find the old "how long have you been waiting for your permit" thread, so I just read through the entirety of this one.
Just got my renewal, took just under 30 days. I THINK the last time I did this my renewal took a lot longer. Pretty sure my initial took something like 119 days or something.
Did the 10 year renewal this time, $170. I agree, I think it could be lower, but... well, it is what it is. As dennis said above, the chances of having a fee reduced or eliminated by the .gov is pretty slim - although I think it is slightly lower than it used to be. I want to say it was $100 for 5y and $200 for 10y before, wasn't it? So it's a tiny bit lesser now.
Either way, I'm happy to have my permit again.
There is one other circumstance where I believe having a permit in Oklahoma is of benefit, other than the one debated so much in the first half of this thread (carrying in a restaurant that serves alcohol).
I could be wrong, but I believe ONLY with a permit you can leave a firearm in your locked vehicle on school property. At one point, that was illegal, if you left your vehicle, and there was a firearm in it (actually I think even a single round of ammunition qualified!), it was a felony. At some point they amended the law to allow permit holders to leave their firearm in their locked vehicle. This was a major deal for me, with a kid in public school.
Now, I have not seen anything that justifies that same right (privilege) to the non-permitted individual under our new permitless carry system. Anyone have any wisdom in that regard? Again, IANAL, and my recollections may be amiss, but I would be interested in knowing for sure.
