Good afternoon everyone! This is my first post and also my first time applying for a pistol permit. I applied on Nov. 4,2011 and was fingerprinted that evening. I called the Meriden PD on the 8th week and was told that they don't get anything back for 13 weeks. I mentioned the 8 week statute and was told there was a backlog. Called DPS and was told they couldn't release any info to me personally, but there was a 12-14 week backlog. I retrieved my money order receipts and found out that the $50.00 one was cashed on 11/17/11. The $19.25 one was cashed on 11/18/11, and the $70.00 one was cashed on 12/5/11. I kept calling once a week and kept getting the same automated response; they wouldn't check the file at all. Out of curiosity, I called the FBI number I found on this site (thanks!) and was told they received on november 29, 2011. It was processed and sent back on Nov 29th as well. Today is the 13th week and I finally got them to check. She said it was heading to the detective bureau and then has to get written up. What does that mean? I was also told that now it takes 16 weeks -_-
