After obtaining my permit a little over a year ago I had to wait 9 weeks from Hamden. I ended up getting my older brother to take his basic pistol class and helped him with his paperwork. He submitted it two weeks ago and surprise he has his permit today from Bridgeport. He's very excited. I told him about this awesome website called Open Carry where he can learn a lot from fellow permit holders. Just felt like sharing the news and also for Kix who needs this info. Take care guys Carry On!!!
