Loudoun's are also signed by the Clerk, not a judge.fireman836 wrote:Accomack County is signed by the clerk. According to the Code of VA 18.2-308 H The permit can be signed by the Judge issuing the permit, or the Clerk authorized by the Judge to sign it.
Alan I noticed nobody answered your question regarding whether the clerk could sign the CHP. The answer is yes. The law was changed this past GA (General Assembly) session if I recall correctly to allow for the clerk to issue the CHP withough judicial review where the background check is completely clean and there is nothing that may get into situations where the issuing of the CHP becomes "may issue" (such as if you have multiple misdemeanors in a set period of time).AlanM wrote:When I applied for my CHP at the Albemarle Co. court house a couple months ago I was told it would take 60 days.
I bit my tongue and didn't say anything.
On both of my visits I only saw the same two women in the office.
As to looking for my name on the civil docket, I couldn't find it when I was waiting and I just checked again and there are still no hits on my name.
Here's what I posted in another thread when I got it:
OBTW, my permit is signed by DEBRA M. SHIPP, CLERKBack to the subject of the original post of this thread.
I have an update.
As of 3:45 pm 8/4/11 I am a card carrying VA Covert Handgun Carrier!
Last Thursday, 7/28/11, was my 45th day waiting. So Friday I called the Albemarle County Circuit Court Clerk and ask what the status was on my application. I was told that it wasn't ready and they would call me. I mentioned a temporary permit and the lady told me I could use my receipt for the application until my permit showed up.
This Wednesday they left a message on voice mail that my CHP was ready to be picked up. HMMMMM.
So yesterday afternoon I drove into town and picked it up. I asked the clerk that gave it to me why it was dated July 14, 2011. Where had it been for three weeks? She told me that they had to get it from the sheriff's office. WTH????
Is this typical for Albemarle county?
Are permits from other counties actually signed by a judge?

See VA Code 18.2-308(D) http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504 ... d+18.2-308
According to the Code of VA 18.2-308 H The permit can be signed by the Judge issuing the permit, or the Clerk authorized by the Judge to sign it.
No offense was taken. and I realy didn't mean to totaly direct at you, sorry. It's just that some tend to jump in before reading all the posts and then post something as new information that had been posted days earlier, and then carry on as if they know the whole discussion.jmelvin wrote:Well you sure are right fireman. No offense was intended. I read the first sentence of your post this morning, but apparently missed the remainder. Oh well, now we've got him covered twice.
I must respectfully disagree. They are obligated to know the law, as it affects their job. Otherwise, they will "make them up" every day, simply in ignorance if not by intent.Nemo24 wrote:To me, all this means is that the low level desk people don't need to know the law so you shouldn't expect them to. They just follow the rules. They don't get to make them up no matter how badly they want to.
It is also worth mentioning that a CHP is $15 in Greene and $50 in ALB. Now why that is you wondrin'? Because VA state law sets the max fee at $50 and ALB hates you and your outdated freedoms!mk4 wrote:you might also want to go here: http://wasdmz2.courts.state.va.us/CJISWeb/circuit.html
select your county from the drop-down and on the next page, select 'civil' and search on your name. you might be able to get a status on your app that way.

Do we have another Comrade Kruetz up in mhea?Alex wrote:Yes, the office was very helpful. They suggested that I wait out the 45 day period, then if I have not been issued my permit, to meet with the Clerk herself directly. They said that if (For whatever reason) I run into trouble obtaining either my permit, or temporary permit, then I should not hesitate to contact them again so they could help me.mk4 wrote:was the chief justice's office cordial/helpful?
Long live the State! :clap:
