Connecticut General Statute §29-28a defines the application process for a Permit to Carry Pistols or Revolvers. In this statute, it is expressly defined that the local issuing authority must notify the applicant "not later than eight weeks after a sufficient application" has been made. However, it has been reported that a number of towns are taking longer than 8 weeks.
Anyone who has not heard from the local issuing authority about the status of their application within 8 weeks of submitting the application should immediately begin finding out why a decision has not been made. Read through this post by Ed Peruta (http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum14/33140.html). The post gives a list of questions that should be asked of the local issuing authority. It is recommended that you call whoever is in charge of the permitting process and discuss the permit delay.
Additionally, an appeal should be immediately filed with the Board of Firearms Permit Examiners. At the bottom of this post are two forms. One form is an appeal for anyone who has been discharged from the military, while the other should be used by everyone else.
The proper form should be filled out and mailed to the address printed at the top of the appeal letter. A second copy of the form should also be mailed to the local issuing authority with a note stating that the appeal process has begun on the application delay.
Filing an appeal creates a paper trail that there was a delay and steps have been taken to correct it. The worst case scenario that can happen is the denial of the application. If this happens an appeal hearing will already have been scheduled. Scheduling an appeal as soon as possible is essential because appeals hearings are currently being scheduled in 2011.
If after mailing out the appeal form the application for a permit is approved, the Board of Firearms Permit Examiners should be notified as soon as possible to withdraw the appeal.
