Thanks, that ain't too bad, know a guy who got his when it had 8 months left. The 1 year thing sucks.

Any recent Winthrop LTC stories? Applied for renewal and still haven't hear back

It might be worth searching for a thread on what to do on renewal. My understanding is that once you send the paperwork, a copy(or receipt) of it can be used in place of the license until the new card arrives. Again, please consider a search of this forum for this exact discussion on renewals.

What counts is the MIRCS receipt the PD can printout when you apply, not a copy of the application.

Make sure you request the MIRCS receipt. Some towns don’t give them out or don’t even bring it up.

 

[alston154]

Yeah I got the MIRCS receipt. Its just the wait time I was wondering about

Springfield renewal took 4 months 2 days. This was my 1st renewal and I was able to have my restrictions removed.

 

[MFSP101]

Just got my renewal. 3 weeks and 1 day. I’m kind of I. Shock. I still have until the end of July for the old one to expire.

Are you sure it's actually for you? Haha, maybe there is someone else with a similar name! Where are you located, the stars may be shining in your locale.

A NES member told me that place closed.

Excellent turn around time, thanks for letting us know that Wrentham is on the ball and serving their community, well.

Yeah I that also included my wife too. Funny thing is that I actually photocopied my passport and brought in 2 bills showing proof residency (including for the wife too) as I was paranoid I didnt have enough stuff. The licensing officer, who was the Lieutenant, literally laughed and said what's all this extra stuff. He said only needed the check and packet and that's it. Definitely a Pro-2A guy. Oh and that was 17 days with the police department mailing both my wife and I's licenses to our house.

It's crazy to see that a lot of people it takes months to even a bit longer than a year to get their LTC!!! That is criminal if you ask me!

The chief in Wrentham is a good guy, I worked with him when he first started on the job many years ago in a nearby town.

Yeah you can tell it trickles down to the other officers too. I haven't interacted with all of them but the few I have seem like really good cops. I have met the chief once and he was very nice.

That has to be a record, in a good way. Glad to see the positive feedback

Yeah the licensing officer was great. He definitely mailed out both my wife and I's application the next day to the FRB. I have seen a few others on here with a very similar time line in other towns so I have to be fairly close to the record lol.

So with my experience, I think for the towns that take longer its on the police department not a hold up at the FRB.

They are not generally mailed, but entered into MIRCS online.

Oh did not know that! So that makes it even weirder that towns take so long to get that info over to them. For example, I been hearing Attleboro takes about 9 months if not longer....

The town has to complete its background information before entering the approval into MIRCS.

Makes sense but still 9 months to do a BG check☹

That's 100% about my chief proving that he can walk slower than yours (because he can)

 

[Len-2A Training]

That's about 8 months and 29 days sitting on the LO's desk untouched.

You can bet too if he was slow on the uptake in even the slightest way that our famed barrister wouldn't have given him any quarter, either.....
