Hello all, my first post here. The wife and I have applications pending with the Peoples Republic of East Hartford. It has been exactly 10 weeks today with no approval or denial. I called at 8 weeks, was told various people were, "on vacation" it was on Supervisors desk. They never called through week 9 as they said they would, no communication regarding delay at all. On week 10 to the day, I called again, was told people just got back from vacation and things were, "busy" and it was still, "on Supervisor's desk." I asked should I wait another week, and was told, "at least." In my past I was no angel and was arrested several times. In July of 2008 I was granted a full, unconditional Pardon and my record was expunged. My wife, squeaky clean. I called Board of Firearms Examiners and asked for their opinion. I spoke with a wonderful, cheerful woman and explained everything. She says the FBI doesn't erase ANYTHING regarding my Pardoned crimes and that is probably why they are holding things up. She suggested I wait until the 12th week and file an appeal. I can expect a hearing in 10 months! I am at a loss....they violate Statutes, I get to wait 10 months! With no kids in the schools....we've paid this Town $30,000 over the last 10 years in property taxes and we can't even get a response!
