I was at my favorite gun shop in Tampa yesterday picking up a new (to me) gun. When the owner of the gun shop handed me back my CCW after doing my background check he said to me you know you're pretty close to out of date. It caught me by surprise so I looked at the permit and realized it runs out this Sunday!
When I got home I called the motor vehicle bureau ( tax collector's office), explain to the lady what my problem was, and asked for help to fix it. She gave me an appointment for 9:30 this morning and I even got there a little bit early. The way they handle this now is really nice. I timed it and from the minute I walked in to the office until I walked out with my new CCW permit in my hand was 9 minutes! It could not have been easier I do believe.
I told the lady this last minute thing was my fault. I told her I was the world largest procrastinator and I was so good at it my wife was going to buy me a t-shirt that said I always wanted to be a procrastinator but I never got around to it! She said the State of Florida sent me a notice 60 days ago saying my permit was close to expiring and I should have done something about it then. What could I say she was right
Bottom line was, I got a new permit and I'm a legal beagle okay again. I'm glad they have the situation set up so even procrastinators can manage to handle the problem!
