Hello all,
I am new to the forum and new to firearms all together. Back in mid April I took the required Connecticut Pistol Permit/NRA Basic Pistol Safety Certification course at the Bridgeport Shooting range. From there I went to the Fairfield police department and got my application. I submitted the application on Saturday May 14th, was finger printed, and sent on my way.
I was told during the course that standard wait time was 6-8 weeks, and saw today that I had waited longer. I called the Fairfield Police dispatch number to inquire on the status of the permit and was told that my town had 6-8 MONTH waiting period!
I am law abiding citizen with no criminal record, it seem absurd to wait this long. After doing some research I found there was a law in the books requiring the wait on CT permit cannot go over 8 weeks but I don't want to stir up trouble with my local PD.
Has anyone went through the same experience? Please help!
