23 hours: from turning in paperwork to "Hey, come get your card." they were very polite, too. A+
Downtown Columbus Parking: F
My suggestion: Bring a buddy. Have them do laps while you turn in your paperwork/pick up your card. Neither event should take you more than 15 minutes.

Yep, parking is my only grip about the Franklin County CCW office.
The first time I went I had to park way way down high street in a free parking zone and it was a good 10 minute walk back to the CCW office. The second time I remembered to bring change for the meter but I still ended up with a pretty good walk to the office.

That's great, mine was 7 days, which is still good - but they must have made some changes at the CCW office.
If you happen to be going downtown to park, there is a garage just to the east of the CCW office. You just have to ride the elevator to the ground floor and walk around the corner. I didn't know it was there until a few months ago. I always parked at the common pleas court garage, which is awful.

when I got mine, they had been running my background for various employers, I was called back a few hours after paying.
The pen is mightier than the sword ... if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.
The pen might not be mightier than the sword, but maybe the printing press was heavier than the siege weapon. Just a few words can change everything.
Sometimes, the best answer is a more interesting question.

I just had the same experience with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office, 23 hour turn around from start to finish issued CHL!jwrobbs wrote:23 hours: from turning in paperwork to "Hey, come get your card." they were very polite, too. A+

Overall a very good experience with Franklin County!

Finally got mine too through Franklin county. 2 week turn around to the day, including weekends. This included the FBI check since I haven't lived here more than 3 years. Considering that, I was happy with the time frame, compared to the 45 days at some counties.
While there I was questioned as to why I went to that office, instead of the one I reside in. Maybe they are getting overloaded since they seem to be the quicker route, and don't want to get flooded. I had it explained that whichever county you receive your license from, not where you live, is where you need to renew it. For me it doesn't matter since it's just as long of a drive to either place.
1st time to submit application took about 15 minutes. Picking up took 1 minute. It is true about the parking, it's slim pickins. However, I scored both times and found places relatively quick. For the 2nd visit, near a busy light, a guy was just leaving and even had 35 minutes left on the meter. It was a race though, whether he'd get moving before the light changed.

Thats funny, the guys in the office were super nice to me. I even forgot to bring cash and they told me there was an ATM across the street and waited for me to go get cash.ARC0112358 wrote:Got mine Tuesday from FrankCo - it took 22 hours. Not overly polite - but that's OK - they were all about TCB.
