Re: What to do
Not really a whole lot.
First, call them, if you haven't already, and remind them of the requirement under the law, and that it doesn't give them any exceptions - not even if BCI is slow returning the results, or a county in your history is slow, etc. They can always revoke the license if something eventually turns up.
Next, try to talk to the actual sheriff - they may be unaware their clerk isn't following the law.
Finally, you can start the process of filing a writ of mandamus - basically, a court order to do their job under the law. This can either be an actual filing, or a threat - say, when talking to the clerk, when they say they have to wait, ask them to transfer you to the clerk of courts so you can file a writ of mandamus to compel them to issue the license... No public servant wants to have a mark like that on their record.
