I think you'll find that the "Utah experience" is a pleasant one. BCI is a wonderful agency to deal with, in every respect. Permits are issued in a timely manner. We've taught more Utah permit students than I can tell you about and I haven't had a single person come back and say that they've had any issues with either BCI or carrying with the permit.
Do they cash your check before the 60 days start?
Take Parbreak's class (Mid Atlantic Firearms Training) bring your checks ID etc... He will do the photos, prints and mail your packet.
I took it a while back and got my permit within the 60 day window!
No negatives to report.
