SUMMIT COUNTY SUX!!!!!!!!!

One of my students applied 41 days ago and had heard nothing. Her husband knows a deputy from another county and asked him if he knew anyone at Summit County. Friend called Summit County and relayed the info about it being day 41, Summit County made CHL available within an hour. Were they just sitting on it because they could?

They obviously choose to do this, as you know it's been the same story a long time now. Too bad there aren't some enforcement "teeth" in the 45 day requirement. But then they might go out of their way to take no less than 44, even for renewals in which the person hadn't moved, been ticketed etc. in the previous five years.

Does the sheriff have a (D) or (R) after his/her name?

Sheriff- Steve Barry (D)

It's not just the Sheriff, Officer Monday (Munday?) who handles the CHL applications is a real piece of work who, among other things, has said:

• The 45 days is business days rather than calendar days
• She doesn't even have to start counting days until they begin processing the application
• The days don't really matter anyway if they haven't gotten the results back from their inquiries

To make matters worse, she uses her position to wield power over those she takes a dislike to - like people who call her out when she is wrong (see above list).

Knowing what I know, and seeing what I've seen, I wouldn't apply there unless it was my absolute last resort.

I just wish we knew someone, maybe the leader of a large gun rights organization, that happened to live in Summit County that might be able to address this issue. That would be awesome if we did..........

Student picked he license from Summit County on Wednesday at about 10:00am. On her way out, she was informed not to carry, because the license wasn't valid until 4:00pm that day. Where do these idiots come up with this kinda stuff?

Okay Jeff Garvas, it's time for a Summit County smack down. Groin kicks and throat punches. Hair, teeth and eyeballs ripped out, figuratively if not literally. Name the date, place, and time!

They called again @ 2:20 p.m. and said it was ready to be picked up full 45 days after application.

It's bad enough when a first-time application takes that long to go through. With a renewal, I see no valid reason for that to happen.

My initial renewal took 45 days. The two renewals were about 2 days each. Plus they have the little thumb print thingy that doesn't leave ink on you. I think the backlog when CHL's were approved was just the rush of people to get them. Today, I see no reason for it to take so long, especially on renewals. Even the anti-sheriffs have finally conceded they are not going away or they've gotten enough complaints

over 3 weeks now for a Montgomery county renewal and not a word.......

Not a renewal but my 1st application for CCW at Geauga County took 8 days from applying, last Tuesday, to receipt in the mail today.

I did a walk in last Saturday in Geauga. One hour wait, Officer said we were lucky it was running 2 to 3 hours for awhile now. Makes sense, I was there because all the counties around Cuy were booked until mid-March. Lake wasn't too bad but a bit of a drive for me. Got the renewal on Friday, so six days, one of which was a Sunday. Pretty impressive.

Asked him if anyone ever checked 'yes' to 'Are you a fugitive from justice'. He laughed and said no, but he has had some background checks come back with outstanding warrants. He calls them and tells them their picture got messed up and to please come back in for another photo.......

Applied for renewal Apr. 6. Told it would take 7 - 10 business days. Been 26 already. Starting to get aggravated.

Does that help?

Why, yes it does. Thanks for your sincere concern!

Filed my application for renewal with Franklin county Tuesday, June 7th, at 11:10 am. Received the call my license was ready for pick-up Wednesday, June 8th at 9:30 am. Pretty impressive being as I had the original license from Ross county and had moved to Licking county shortly after receiving the original. Life is good !
