Maybe I am new at this but the process, to me, just doesn't seem clear.
I called the DPS to inquire about the paperwork once I received it. They told me my Basic Pistol Class had to be taken in CT and that I had to have a local permit first.
I told them I was a non-resident and applying for a non-resident permit and that the paperwork doesn't say that.
So I travel to CT on occasion for work so going there is never a problem. Not that far from me.
They told me that if I apply for a non-resident permit and not yet have a local permit, application will be delayed considerably. Also that if my Basic Pistol Class was taken outside CT and/or its more than 5 years old, it may also delay my permit process considerably.
Is this for real or are they just trying to deter me on the phone from applying? If I wanted to get a local permit, which municipalities would issue them incase I still wanted to go that route anyway? Also, whats with these Fees everyone is talking about in the other threads?
