Update. Framingham licensing

[Sparky1911]

I have a close friend who wants to get his LTC. He went a took his course and called Framingham and left a message, No one called back. On his 3rd attempt he finally got an officer on the phone and was told he had to wait 3 months to get an interview and put his application in. What can he do if anything, or who can he contact besides a lawer. He’s not the wealthiest guy
Thanks all

 

[appraiser]

unfortunately there is nothing he/she can do.

Even the law specifying how long they have to issue a permit is routinely ignored

Short of going to the Mayor or other elected official and claiming rights are being violated under Bruen, he is screwed

Why is he calling first? Show up with completed application and turn it in.

Did he actually speak to the licensing officer (usually a LT) or just some Joe blow sitting at the desk out front? I would make sure I’m at least talking to the right person first of all.

Certified mail to COP? Keep a copy of the form.

If he has a rep that's worth shit (republican) doubtful in that area. I would go there.

I used a money order last time I renewed there. 3 week turnaround. That was summer of 2020.

If I was a resident of Framingham I would try to request an audit of that money

Why?

 

[Sparky1911]

So he’s basically screwed?? Unless he has. Money for a lawer he just has to wait?

 

[slugworth]

I’m guessing he’s gonna have to wait three months for the appointment.

 

[CATI]

Why?

Cash only.
Why?
Its a tax payer funded government agency and they are scared of a check/money order from someone going for a LTC?

 

[Sparky1911]

What a joke!

 

[G4Y4HK]

Framingham... thought it was muh GREEN town tho?

Alrite I’m tracking now. I thought you were talking specifically about me using a money order.

Nothing in the information sheet posted above mentions calling before dropping off the application. Show up in person with the application and the required documents, set the appointment for the interview and fingerprints as described in their FAQ. I did mine in Auburn just a few months ago.

Just show up at the times below and talk to the licensing officer. Ensure you have the cash and documents you are supposed to have. He will either set up and appointment for later on, or just take him in.

HOURS OF OPERATION​

The hours to obtain fingerprints as well as the issuance of License to Carry, FID cards, Hackney Licenses and Liquor Server IDs are from 9 a.m. to Noon and from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursdays. Licensing fee is $20 for Liquor Server IDs and the form must be signed by the establishment manager.

3 months today........6 months tomorrow........12 months next year........

I love how everyone keeps saying show up with your application in hand. Do you people read or just look at pictures
Because a website says something l, doesn’t mean that’s what actually happens

 

[MadatMarek]

Bring six dozen donuts with your applicaton

Then I recommend crying about it on a discussion board.

Leominster used to be like that and had a civilian woman handling applications first time I renewed there about 10yrs ago. She's gone and PO money order now.
