Florida..... made my appointment with Dept of Agriculture for permit, went in early, got it all done quick, and got permit in 4 days from the time I was in the office.

It's been over seven weeks since I submitted my paperwork for my Connecticut permit, so I decided to stop by my local trooper's office today to check on how things were going.

First the good news ... I haven't been rejected. He said that since I hadn't heard any bad news by now, then that's good news. If my permit hasn't been rejected by now (CT is a "may issue" state), then it means that it will eventually be approved.

Now for the bad news ... who knows when I'll actually receive it. He said that the approvals he had just received today were one's that he had processed over 2 1/2 months ago. And those were processed three weeks before mine. So it looks like I have at least another month yet to go.

If you're in a may issue state and only have three weeks to go it's time to rejoice.

In mn our permit is good for one year. By as many as you want in that year.
No, you can't have the gun. They won't give out to you, even if its paid for, until you show your permit.

Your MN carry permit is good for five years which gives you the ability to purchase and carry for that entire length of time. That must be back in your hands within 30 days from application with your local sherriff.
The permit to purchase is free by contacting your locl police chief and that is good for one year.

In Connecticut a permit is good for five years. I don't think renewal is supposed to be as complicated as the original application, but that can always change in this state where Democrats control both houses and the governorship.

Once you have your permit in hand, you can buy as many guns as you want. You can't buy a handgun without a permit, but you don't have to apply for a permit for each gun.

Not for long Rev !!! Looking at the Sandy Hook Commission's report just released we will need to register yearly and take a test each time. Oh - and they want to ban any weapon that is capable of firing 10 or more rounds. Not talking about the mag size here (which they also want to limit to 10 max) but the actual weapon. Meaning if you own a semi-auto they want to ban it. Only single shot rifles and revolvers will be left. Plus limit they type and amount of ammo you can purchase.

Take a look at the report and write your reps.

I Got Good News & Bad News re My Permit

I am in a pro-2A rural county in California and I had to make an appointment 2 months out just to submit the paperwork! Then you pay a large fee and they set up the first interview which I heard is also many months out. During that time they do a quick background check. If the first interview and background check goes well, then you can go take your CCW class (which also costs a lot of money). If you pass the test, then you go back to the Sherif to qualify which I also hear was weeks later. All that being said, the timeline stuff is not necessarily their fault, lots of people are wanting carry permits now, and our Sherif is pro 2A (as close to shall issue as the state will allow him to be), so I appreciate that. But if all these hoops aren't considered "infringement", then I don't know what is!

A side note: our sherif wrote a cool letter to Biden. Don't know if he read it, but it is good none the less. http://www.edcgov.us/Sheriff/Press_R...ent_Biden.aspx
