Two founding members sent letters to the Board of Firearms Permit Examiners requesting a declaratory ruling on two issues that are at the forefront of people applying for Permits to Carry Pistols or Revolvers in Connecticut.

Candidate for Vice President Lenny Benedetto asked for a ruling on the following question:
At the time of the submission of an application for a Temporary State Permit to Carry Pistols and Revolvers or Eligibility Certificate, must an applicant initially submit additional information or documents beyond what has been deemed sufficient, and mandated in the standard state application form more commonly referred to as DPS Form 799-C?

The board has piggy backed this on a question submitted by Jack Goldberg and has agreed to make a ruling.

President Scott Wilson asked for a ruling on the following question:
May a permit be denied or not accepted by an issuing authority if an application for a Temporary State Permit to Carry Pistols and Revolvers or Eligibility Certificate, fails to contain the currently stated $50.00 to cover the issuing authorities submission of a State Criminal History background check on an applicant?

The board has denied a ruling on this question. This denial opens the door to legal challenges!

The CCDL wants to thank one of our members Ed Peruta. Ed keeps his eyes on the carry permit process in the Connecticut, thus bringing issues with it to the attention of the CCDL, so that we can take action to help correct any inconsistencies in the process that arise from some towns and cities not following the state statutes.

Here is the audio from the BFPE discussion on the requests (playing time about 18 minutes):
