Had a similar experience back in December. Mind-bending how quickly it went through. Florida was also very fast.
 
Got mine back in 2022….took about 3 weeks but since we had just sold our place in Los Angeles and moved, there was a “mailing delay”…..I thought 3 weeks with a delay was fast until I saw your post⚡️
 
I don’t know when mine will arrive, but good lord the approval was fast… and they were waiting for my fingerprint cards to arrive by mail to boot. They received those in a PO Box Thursday (8/7), literally less than two days prior to my approval (which came at 1 am this morning).

My Georgia permit was issued when the 737’s wheels hit the runway at Hartsfield Airport. Took about 4 hours total.😄

Say what... It's not a race, but wow 😂

My guess was because Georgia is (maybe) one of the states that doesn’t require a permit for concealed carry(?) So you effectively have your “permit” the moment you touch Georgian soil 😅 (the four hours I’m also assuming is flight time from CA (or where ever) to Georgia).
 
Georgia is constitutional carry, open or concealed in most public places. I never wanted to carry a firearm until I was told that I didn’t need a permit to do it.😆
