Well, I'm a new member but have read alot of horror stories here about how much people have to go through to get their Pistol Permits. So I figured I'd share my "non" horror story.
I gathered the paper work I need from my local PD, Norwich PD. Went down and took my safety class the following Sunday, which I lucked out on cause he had a last minute opening or else I would have had to wait for about 2 weeks till the next one. After class and got my certificate I got all the needed letters of refrence together and handed all my stuff back in to the NPD the following Tuesday. They were to busy to fingerprint me at that time and I thought to myself "here we go" But later in the day I called them back up and they said come right down. So I went back and got the finger prints done.
Low and behold 4 weeks later almost to the day, I recieved a call that my temp State Permit was ready to be picked up! I rushed down and picked it up and finished up the paperwork. The very next day I took the morning off of work and headed down to Middletown. About 15 minutes later I walked out with 5 year State Permit.
So moral of the story is, I guess obtaining your pistol permit is not always that bad. I got mine about 4 weeks before I had even imagined it was possible.
I look forward to being a member of this forum and getting to keep up on the latest news.
