I dropped my permit application off August 16th after all my numerous efforts to get an appointment, I guess they will only give you an appointment after you submit your application despite what the letter they give you with the app says.
On September 1st I got a call from the detective assigned to do my interview and set up a time to meet today.
He asked me my marital status,if I have kids, if I have been arrested, if I have mental illness, if I drank, and if I did drugs. When I submitted my app I included copies of the DPS fingerprint cards, and canceled checks from DPS for the background check and fingerprinting as well as a copy of my EC, he returned all of this to me with my birth certificate and NRA certificate.
He took my fingerprints again, with the ink even though they have the ink less digital workstation there to do it. I asked him why they had to take the prints again, because I had them taken for the EC and DPS has them already. He told me that because they collect a fee for it they have to actually take the prints. They updated their database with my personal info and took my photograph.
He asked me where I intended on carrying my firearm.
We talked local ranges a bit and thru ought the process he was professional and friendly.
I asked how long it would take to get the temp permit and he told me he had no idea and the whole process was in the hands of DPS.
I am aware of how much this process differs from what the statutes require and I am just posting this for the next person that comes a long trying to get a Pistol Permit in Avon Ct.
Thanks
