As stated i'm looking to see if any other Cumberland Residents have gone through the concealed carry process and if going through the Town or going to the AG is the better route?
I formerly held an ALP Class A in MA, but so far am finding the requirements for the RI CCP to be kind of ridiculous... (and i thought i was leaving this kind of nonsense behind in MA)
according to this site http://rifol.org/pistolpermitstudy.php
if i go through the town it's either the PD or the Town Council?
but this is the WTF moment for me
a RIDICULOUS hoop to jump through and i'm not even in MA anymore... who would of thought it
http://www.riag.state.ri.us/documents/forms/pistol_renewal_form.pdf
On to the AG side of things (which doesn't seem to require me to get and pay for some nonsensical Psych test) which seems fairly straight forward except for the thing about attaching a separate letter "stating the reasons a permit is needed for a full time basis" which i didn't have to do in MA and never was good at the ole write a essay questions in school and wouldn't know what to write.

These instructions make it sound to me like i already need to be a victim and show a SPECIFIC risk to life, limb, or property
I never thought getting a CCP in RI would be harder than in MA but here it is... any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance

The Chief writes that the Cumberland Police Department is NOT the licensing authority (the Town Council is the licensing authority), but the application says the Cumberland Police Department IS the licensing authority. For the purpose of this report, the Cumberland Police Department will be considered the licensing authority.
but this is the WTF moment for me
Notes: The Cumberland Police Department requires a Psychological evaluation administered by the University of Rhode Island Psychological Testing Service and the expense for said testing shall be borne by the applicant.
