Real easy, no appointment, ready the next day (seemed like it could have been same-day, but I came in near to closing time).

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. It's too bad that some Sheriff's offices are bogged down with the applications that they can't be as fast.

Northcoast,

So they've done away with the appointments in Lake? The first 2 weeks I called everyday and never got through.

GWC - I had no problem.

They have regular hours (I think 8-2 M-Th, and Sat) that they do it, but no appointments were necessary as of a week or two ago. He answered the phone will taking my application, so during those hours you should get someone.

The downside of that, I imagine, is that there could be a wait depending on people being there ahead of you. I sat in the waiting room for about 5 minutes to apply, then about 10 to pick it up (but it was right at lunch time on a saturday!)

Also a nice touch is that the deputy sheriff I worked with said that you don't need the 2x2 photo (and sure enough when I looked again it is not listed on their website as being necessary). He said "Oh, I don't require those...I try to save people a few bucks where I can." I thought it was very nice.

Northcoast.

Today I applied for my CHL, as northcoast said, no hassle, no appointment, friendly deputy. I highly reccomend Lake county.

Did not even have to bring a picture. Pick it up Monday!

I applyed yesterday 4/04/06 at the lake county office and picked up my permit today. The Sheriff's were very nice and it could not have went smoother. The best time to get there is around 9:00am. I was in there about 15 min and the next day about 10 min and they even gave me a free gun lock. A++++ all the way.

Congrats. Carry proudly! How can a thread have 3 "new" licensees in it and Wayne hasn't once done his thing?
