Turned in app and did fingerprints in baton rouge on the 13th and got my permit in my mailbox yesterday the 29th.
2 weeks and 2 days. Can't complain about that!
I took mine in church point with Reggie Smith, he is current state trooper with a swat background. Great guy. Classes are $100, all done at his house so he has his own range. I'd recommend him.
