There are more and more "martyrs" all the time...... now.
With groups like CTCarry, CCDL, www.ctpistolpermitissues.com, more people are now aware of what their rights were. Three years ago, none of this stuff existed.
I've been helping people through the process and more are willing to stay "ummmmm, no thank you, here's the state app and my checks" and it is working in some areas.
West Hartford is taking apps and issuing permits even when people don't submit the extra information.
Hartford has been up in front of the board and knows they can't deny for this nonsense.
The BFPE, for the record, has done an INCREDIBLE job on the backlog. We're at about 5-6 months now for a hearing - quicker than many towns for permits.
That being said, there is still a TON of work to do and people indeed need to stand up for their rights. I don't see it as being a martyr, more like not being a victim.
There is a scary trend I'm seeing developing again...... towns that don't want to waste time all day at a hearing issuing temporary permits just before the hearing date. Been a couple years since this was as big an issue, but it is creeping back up again.
