Hello everyone!
So I found out about this site from my NRA Basic pistol course instructor and have been having trouble with getting the needed things and submitting my paperwork to the Hartford Police Dept.
First issue was i walked in and they wouldn't give me a temp pistol permit application without verification that i had finished my NRA course....i know this goes against state statute, but i complied and came in with the certificate a few days later.
I picked up the application and have noticed the additional sheet provided by the Hartford Police dept authorizing a couple of extra needed requirements. I believe KIX has it listed on his website under the town of hartford.
I called the officer who's in charge of the pistol permits unit and he seemed a bit annoyed by some of the questions i was asking. (regarding proof of residency and such) Anyway, so i asked the officer if i could go in Tuesday and submit my application as they hold fingerprinting on tuesday mornings and he said, "you need to slow down, first you have to get through the interview with me before getting anywhere. You can do your fingerprints, but i advise you just do it the same day of the interview so your not coming in and out of here." He said since they are so busy that he wouldn't be able to get an interview with me til the first Thursday of December and we scheduled an interview then.
Now the part that upsets me is the fact that i have to now wait one month for a interview which is not required by state statute and I need to wait according to him to submit my paperwork or i would be "wasting my time" . Also lets incorporate the 8 additional weeks itll take them to process everything once the application is submitted. Any ideas on how i should go about this?
I saw that on the firearms appeal dept website they have the declaratory ruling about this linked right on the front page. I emailed them expressing my concern and asking for a bit of guidance, but have not heard anything back from them just yet (dont think i will honestly).
Any insight//guidance? I'm about ready to fight the good fight and just submit the paperwork with the required information by state statute and set up the appeal because id rather give them some hell since i will have to wait a while anyway it seems. I would like to exercise my right, but they do make it difficult to do so.
p.s. Anyone have experience on someone who followed state statute and submitted only the required paperwork and still obtaining their permit? Any ideas on timeframe if so.
I appreciate any help/insight!
