    Well, in her defense she was multitasking and helping another person at the same time. :)

    Yeah yeah rub it in for us Marylanders. A coworker of mine did that also as soon as he moved to Littlestown and got his PA drivers license. Just walked into his local sheriff's office and walked out with a CC for self defense. If only it was just as easy for us less unfortunate

    Give them a total of 30 days. Unfortunately everything I've seen Yorks courts and sheriffs office handle a whole lot more volume than what they are staffed to do. Their population in the area has boomed in the past 20 years. Let alone the past 10 years.

    Back in 2011 my first process with them was pretty speedy. No where near 8 minutes but still I didn't mind the wait. Once my Application was filled out, check cashed and once they approved it, I went in, signed some papers , gave them a few other things
    And was out in my car with my permit in hand all in less than 45 minutes.

    Quick note: They will cash your check no matter what even if they end up denying your permit. As it covers paperwork/application cost/employee time used to process it.

    Not in Maryland
    I can confirm the Bedford Sheriffs office is quick. My CCW took 5 minutes yesterday. I had prefilled the document, had my ID and 20 bucks CASH in hand.
