It was like that a year and a half ago in Oregon, but not anymore. Now CHL holders have to wait just like everyone else there.
Sort of. Some percentage of people are still getting instant approval, CHL or not. Unfortunately, I'm not one of the lucky ones. Quite a few posts over on i*fish by people who have gone straight through though.
I hadn't had any delay in probably 15, maybe even 20 years, except for one day when the background check system was down 'til measure 114 came along. Since it passed I have not had instant approval yet. Like many others I'm trying to do a couple final purchases before the permit-to-purchase requirement goes into effect. "Instant" means 5-8 weeks for me so far. Fuuuuuuck.
