What are the stages of the LTC application?

[LakeTrout]

I'm just curious, I called the Hotline and I was told that my application was In review by my local PD. If I call back in a week would that translate to another step? Are most steps held at the PD level? Not in a rush but just curious.

Friendly tip: Include the state that you are referring to.

PD sends to state, state sends back to PD. Just did my renewal early and it took 6 weeks from application to getting it in the mail.

I am in a small town, and the clerk at my local PD that handles them is a personal friend, and I also asked her to fast track it on her end, because of the new bullshit incoming.

I do think a lot of these get hung up on PD desks.......my clerk told me the state generally takes about 4 weeks or so at least. So if your getting jerked around for months, its likely your local PD.

Other than that legally having to get a permission slip to own a firearm....you should feel nothing but sadness.

Don't forget being super jealous over the rest of us who obtained our license pre-Healey and thus have the cool kid guns.

Makes sense, I called back and it's still pending PD review. This is going on to my fourth week. I figure they probably would've denied by now if the wanted too, or maybe they haven't even done anything yet. Do you know if they will update the status to when they send it to the state police? Or is everything done at the police department? And then a final decision, that's made? One of my friends in the same town said it took him months to get it.

I applied the end of March and was told it should be in by the end of May. I got an E-mail stating it is in but I can't pick it up until the day the old one expires at the end of the month. Fine by me and the PD has convenient enough hours, 3 days a week during the day and two days at night for walk-in pickups. It's much better than it used to be. This is my third renewal with the "new" guy. The previous one was, for lack of a better expression, kind of a dick. Maybe he was doing it for too long.

"Can't pick it up until the old one expires" is still quite a dick policy

Yup..... that's either a shit town or one that really doesn't know what they're doing.
