Hi all,
I'll throw my process in to the mix. I've been lurking for a few weeks and just signed up tonight.
LTC Class: 4-15-18
Paperwork submitted 4-16-18
Prints done 4-19-18
BG check started: 4-20-18
BG check completed: 4-25-18
Card in hand: 4-29
I'm now print pending

so I am hoping to have plastic in hand early next week! I was getting all used to the idea I would have to wait out the full 60 days because thats how life goes for me

Do you count weekends as part of 57 days?
I am going on 62 days (44 business days) with this background check.

Yes, I was counting weekend days. If I got to the point of having to call, I expected that they might come back with "60 business days". Luckily, it never got to that point. Reading through this thread it doesn't seem like there's much rhyme or reason to how long it takes to get this done.

I would email them to check on your status or call them and ask do they need anything else. You are over 60 days now it can't hurt nothing.

Just wanted to share my experience, I never had an account and I always checked up on this forum for peoples experiences. Just made the account today to share mine.
Application submitted : 4/12/18
Finger print : 4/13/18
LTC class : 4/14/18
Supporting documents (CHL100) submitted : 4/14/18
Background check started : 4/23/18
Mailed : 4/25/18
Received my plastic today : 4/26/18
So just 14 day total to get my actual plastic, seems like everyone else right now is having the same luck with the process being relatively short.
Im only 24 so i don't know if that made my background check time shorter. but hey! I aint complainin'.
hope everyone has a good day! see you at Nardis!

I actually emailed them once before, and they told me to wait 8 business weeks starting on Feb 23rd. So I doubt I can do much until 8 business weeks have passed.
Update: Good news. I check the status every day, and shortly after I wrote the above response and then checked the status..
Background Check : Completed
License To Carry A Handgun : Print Pending
At least for me, it took 45 business days or 63 calendar days to complete the background check.
