Howdy! Noob here...first post.
Franklin County gets a A++ from me. Appointment was at 0900 yesterday, phone call at 0800 this morning to pick up my permit. It was especially good for me as I work at the courthouse anyway and it's just a quick hop across High Street.
For anyone considering Franklin County and concerned about parking, note that there is a parking garage behind the Sherrif's Annex and another garage behind the main courthouse. It's on Front Street atop the Juvie jail. Sure, it'll cost a minimum of four bucks a pop, but it beats going 'round the block for a half-hour trying to find a meter on Fulton Street. Try to schedule your appointment between 1130-1300 and you'll easily find a space. All the guv'ment workers (like me) are at lunch.

Thanks, and yes I've been lurking for some time, but there wasn't much sense in contributing to a ccw forum until I could "cc" a "w" (or is it "h"--nevermind. I digress).Javelin Man wrote:Welcome!

Anyway, thanks for the welcome! FWIW, I hope to make an FNP9 part of my daily wardrobe but haven't had much luck in the holster dept. yet. Nice piece, but I wish I'd thought about how I was going to carry the dang thing before I slapped those Benjamins down on the barrelhead.

Don't "go cheap" on the holster or belt.
Those are what make it concealable and, most of all, comfortable.

Franklin County A++
Hello all,
First Post. Franklin County is great.......Application at 9:00 yesterday, 7 minutes in the office. Called me at 10:00 this morning to pick up license. Am now a licensed, gun carryin citizen. Parking meters on Mound Street are only 30 minutes but office is just across courtyard. I spent total of 12 minutes for both visits. Friendly and professional, couldn't ask for better service.

Great service in and out. Parking is a mess. Had other things to do in the area and found the garages full at 8:30am. Grabbed a meter and was in and out in about 20 minutes. They expect extra time due to me needing an FBI check for being in Ohio less than 5 years.
Just remember to bring your training either for a renewal or regular. MAKE an appointment. I saw 2 people come in without an appointment and they got one a week later. One came in for a renewal without a training form. Hate to see the hassles of finding parking only to have to come back and try again.

I renewed with Franklin County last week. I had called prior (per the sheriff's website) to get an appointment. The gentleman on the phone was polite, and once I told him it was a renewal - he just confirmed that I was aware of the $55 cost instead of the original $45.
I was in at 1pm on Tuesday - took less than 20 minutes. The lady who took the paperwork was on top of things, and very polite. She even engaged me in small talk while going through the picture taking and such.
I had a call the next morning at 9:30am, informing that I could pick the license up. I stopped in around 12:30 that day and got my license.
Only one issue in the whole process - the signature did not print properly on the card. Of course, I didn't notice it until after I got home that night.
I called - they will re-do the license for me. I just need to stop in (as soon as I get back from Kalifornia).

I've never thought parking was that tough. Just remember to approach on Fulton St (one way). There is a parking garage just behind the CHL office and I have always found parking meters on Fulton to be available.
Since it is by appointment, you will be in and out in no time, as above messages have noted.

Thats true, but some of us make things harder on ourselfs by driving a dually pickup truck with a crew cab and an 8 foot bed. Its very very iffy as to rather or not that will fit in garages. Most normal garages are fine but I've found alot of the ones downtown seem to be smaller(possibly because they are older?) the normal.BobK wrote:I've never thought parking was that tough.

Ditto here. Got my license from Madison County (live in Franklin Co) also. Madison Co. Sheriff's office was outstanding but I hear the new sheriff isn't as friendly.
Does Franklin Co. do the photo and electronic fingerprints like Madison Co. did? I expire in October so I have a little time.
