Hi there!
I know that when I applied for my pistol permit in Middletown, it took a looooooooong time (or maybe it just seemed like a very long time) to actually receive it. I also know that they not only called the people who gave me recommendations, but they ALSO called neighbors who were adjacent to me (some of whom have no idea who I even AM, as we live in a semi-large apartment complex; others who are certified schizophrenic, and proud of that fact) without my permission/knowing until one of them knocked on our door and ASKED, "Hey, Sarah...are you really going to get your pistol permit?"
My husband has since applied for his permit (I was the guinea pig). We have not heard from the local police department regarding his permit as of yet (it's been 6 weeks). I had filled out one of his reference letters that are "strongly suggested, but not required". I have not yet received a call from anyone at the police department, asking about his "good character".
My question(s): Are they still religiously calling the references to check? Has anyone ever been denied a pistol permit that you know of? If they are going to deny someone, do they notify you?
