On a related question, can you trade in your lifetime for a 5 year. Didn't realize, when I got it, that a 5 year was good for gun purchases. I'm a veteran, so it's free now anyway. Anyone know if they'd let me swap it?

You can still use a lifetime permit for purchases. It has to be yourger than 5 years old at the time of purchase....if it was any older then you didnt renew with a refresher course and then your permit would be not valid with lsp anyway.
This happens to a lot of people. They think...oh I have a lifetime Im golden and then they forget to take a renew class and send in a renewal app to the state.
I went through a class. Was fingerprinted at LSP. My payment was accepted in early December. Still nothing. How long are CCP's taking?
Mine is less than 5 years old and that has not been my experience when trying to purchase. Maybe they don't look at the issue date and just see "lifetime" and make me go thru e-check.
If you transfer a firearm to an unlicensed person pursuant to the permit alternative, you must
comply with the following requirements:
1. Have the transferee complete and sign ATF Form 4473, Firearms Transaction
Record.
2. Verify the identity of the transferee through a Government-issued photo
identification (for example, a driver's license).
3. Verify that the concealed handgun permit was issued on or after March 9, 2015,
and within the past 5 years by the State in which the transfer is to occur, and that
the permit has not expired under State law.
4. Either retain a copy of the transferee's concealed firearm permit and attach it to
the Form 4473, or record on the Form 4473 any identifying number from the
permit, the date of issuance, and the expiration date of the permit.
I've been to a shop that refused my CHP and made me wait for a NICS check. That shop is now closed.
The LGS may accept the CHP instead of doing the NICS check, but they are not required to do so. It's their business decision.
It absolutely is.
Knowing many people who work for gun shops, manage them, and own them, they don't want to wait on the phone any more than you do.
If they know it can be used and refuse to use it, that's telling, and I'll happily take my business elsewhere. What should have taken 10 minutes max ended up taking over an hour.
Paid and fingerprinted at LSP on Jan 16, still waiting.Any updates on wait times? Sent mine in Mid January. By mail.
