I've recently gotten interested in purchasing a rifle for marksmanship target practice. After doing some research I've found I can't just walk into a store and purchase a rifle anymore, like I thought I could - at least after April of this year.
So, after more research I determined I need either an Eligibility Certificate to Purchase Long Guns, or a Pistol Permit, to purchase the rifle and ammo. And it seems like 75% of the hassle for just the Certificate, so why not just get the pistol permit even though I don't plan on purchasing a pistol or carrying one.
Living in New Haven I anticipate this to be a huge PITA, and not having a rifle until next year some time by the time I have a piece of paper to purchase something.
What do others think?
What is the waiting period for the Certificates now?
