I took the class 4/14/2012, filed all necessary papers on Monday the 16th. I read on these forums that you should file for an eligibilty certificate first to speed the process up a little bit, and I was excited to do so and be able to actually shop for a pistol as well, but was convinced otherwise by the guys at DPS in middletown stating that I would just be paying twice. Wish I had done it anyway and spent the extra case. I read the horror stories about people waiting forever (>8 weeks) and I shudder to think how long I will actually wait. In Newington, they give you the application and you fill it out, etc, on the very first page it states that you will have to wait 10 weeks for your Temp Permit. So I was going to get the e. Cert just to speed things up, and stupid me I was convinced like I said before, not to. Well I handed in the App on that monday and the woman in records says, are you sitting?, 16 WEEKS!!!!! My heart sunk and I just walked out of there with my head down.
I have been going to Hoffman's here and there just to look at pistols, and it saddens me to think I have to wait 4 months. I don't even want to go in there anymore. All I hoped to do is get a target pistol to practice shooting with over the summer, I probably will not even be able to shoot until August or October.
Anyway I love what this group stands for and hope I can help in some way along the way.
