Took my class on Dec 15th and mailed my application Dec 17th. I'm a GA resident but own property in SC so I had to include a form signed by the county tax assessor. Well, the permit arrived in the mail yesterday and the thing is huge. It's a laminated piece of paper that measures 2.5 x 4.25 inches after I trimmed the excess lamination. Took some doing but I found a place in my wallet that will hold it. SLED must stand for Slow Law Enforcement Division as the date of issue on the permit was Feb 28th and I get it on Apr 3rd. At least I can carry at home now like I do in GA...
