Please view this file to see a perfect example of an illegal additional requirement required to make a Permit to Carry Application with the New Haven P.D..

I recommend that this WAIVER NOT BE SIGNED or submitted, and an immediate appeal to the Board of Firearms Permit Examiners be filed requesting an expedited hearing.

Please join and financially support The Connecticut Citizen's Defense League by visiting their website at http://www.ccdl.us.

Anyone with documents like this which are being required by local issuing authorities should be scanned and emailed to The Board of Firearms Permit Examiners or faxed to their fax number.

Members of the board will be looking at evidence to determine two requests for Declaratory Rulings on what is required to submit a Permit to Carry application.

The Board of Firearms Permit Examiners has this issue and WILL be rendering a declaratory ruling on requirements like this.

My suggestion would be to have the CCDL ask their membership to gather up the application documents from various local issuing authorities, review then for additional requirements and submit a package to the Board as evidence of EXACTLY what is going on regarding applications in CT.

I know that the issue of THREE REFERENCE letters will not be permitted, and suspect that waivers of this type will also be rejected if the board is presented with what they require.

The application process has taken on a life of its own over the years because there has never been a watchdog group to advocate in behalf of Permit to Carry applicants.

Please consider joining and financially supporting the Connecticut Citizen's Defense League by visiting http://www.ccdl.us.

Thank you in advance for doing the right thing.

They had the same document I had to sign and have notarized when I went though the New Haven permit back in late 2007. I've scanned in to PDF format all the application documents that I received from the NHPDand it runs some 10 pages. There was document that detailed what fee's had to be paid, however that document conflicted with the other applicationdocuments. Imade several calls to the firearms unit of the NHPD to try and get it clarified. The detectives couldn't understand my confusion until they actually read the documents to me on the phone. I then got a long pause followed by something to the effect of "yes that is confusing".:?

When the NHPDjogged past the eight weeklimit I started calling them weekly to enquire about the status and making notes as to who I called and what was said.I alsocalled the Board of Firearms Permit Examinerswho at the time told me that all I could do was to file an appeal and hopefully they'd get to by 2010. They said they knew all about the larger towns taking way past the eight week period to issue permits but that they couldn't do much unless your application was "denied". I called the State Police Special Licensing and Firearms Unit and spoke to a Detective there about the NHPD long delay and he offered to call NHPDand see what could be done but there wasn't much more anyone could do until your permit was denied. The entire process was very frustrating.I dropped off my permit on October 16th, 2007 and the temporary permit was finally signed on April 10th, 2008.

NHPD also required an in person interview during the process as well. They asked 10 to 12 questions during the interview. To my knowledge they didn't contact my then place of employment or any of my neighbors at the time.

This notice has been sent out to ALL issuing authorities in CT.

The Board of Firearms Permit Examiners will issue a declaratory ruling on the following issue:

“With respect to a permit to carry a pistol or revolver, is a person unsuitable if he does not supply to the issuing authority upon demand any additional information beyond that required by the standard state application form?”

The Board has scheduled this issue for its January 14, 2010 meeting. Because this is a pure question of law, no evidence or oral testimony will be received.

Previously, the Board had named as parties

Mr. Jack Goldberg, 530 Maple Street, Wethersfield, CT 06109

Mr. Scott Wilson, Sr., 8 Summer Street, New London, CT 06320

both of whom had filed similar requests with the Board. The Board had also given notice to the Department of Public Safety because that agency presents revocations and denials to the Board on behalf of issuing authorities.

At its December 10, 2009 meeting, the Board decided to add the local issuing authorities because of the importance of the question presented to these agencies. You are receiving this notice because you are either a petitioner or an issuing authority.

Any party interested in commenting on this issue should submit comments to the Board prior to its January 14, 2010 meeting. Eight (8) copies should be presented or a PDF file may be submitted.

Very truly yours,

Signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Board

New Haven, CT is the true home of the original Winchester Rifle. As a Kid, I grew up 4 blocks from the site. Many of the guidelines set by the New Haven Police Department for gun applicants are to discourage one for applying for a Pistol Permit by having them divulging personal and employment information. Whatz wrong with telling your employer you are applying 4 A Gun?This certainly would'nt change how an employer sees his employee?In 2010, In reality, the root cause of unreasonable search in New Haven lies in it's efforts to dissuade it's Large Black and Latino Population to ever legally acquire a handgun- Disarm the Negro, a good place to start to understand how and why gun laws were created-Google Search the Phrase and see whatcha get. Furthermore, there are some that say that the second amendment was created to allow rednecks to control and capture escaped slaves in the Confederate South(Militia=Slavecatchers)-Finally, the revolution in Haiti(Slaves defeated Napoleon's Army to create the first nation that originated by Blacks{Africans} overcomming their oppressors) and with Denmark Vessey & Nat Turner freeing the oppressed in the VA, NC, and GA; the armed militia, KKK, and slaveholders were sheiting their pants- to accomodate the rednecks(plantation owners) Northerners who did not have this problem,the 2nd amend. was passed to appease armed white thugs who were worried by revolts by people of colour- to keep a peculiar institution alive.

The Board rendered a Declaratory Ruling at their meeting last week and it will be publicly available this week.

Contact Susan at the Board and she will let you know when it will be ready and may send you a copy via email.

Thanks Ed,

Will someone be posting the result here? I give pistol instruction locally in Essex, CT and we don't have any of these kinds of "extras", but its a little scary none the less.
