Follow-up: Later in the day after my post #173, above, the Sherriff's office called me back to tell me that my permit was being mailed that day. The person I had talked to in the morning happened to have remembered my name and it jogged her memory when she saw it among the permits.

Kudos for her calling. Permit arrived the 30th, the day before my pervious permit expired. Talk about cutting it close.

Still, I stand by my suggestion of getting in your renewal 120 days in advance for El Paso county.
