I put in the paperwork to get a permit in Trumbull on October 30th. I was told 4-6 weeks I would receive a phone call to pick up the permit as long as I pass the background, which I know I will since I recently did one for my job. It's now almost 8 weeks and yet no word on it.
How long does it usually take? Almost everyone I know got it within 6 weeks, many even less. I read in the Connecticut laws (http://www.ct.gov/bfpe/lib/bfpe/laws_pertaining_to_firearms_2002.pdf) that they need to give me an answer whether or not I will receive my permit within 8 weeks. Is this true?
Also, do I need to have the permit in order to purchase a handgun? Or can I purchase one but only have it within my house?
I am just getting impatient waiting, and everything I learned and practiced at the NRA basic pistol class is slowly fading from memory since I am not practicing.
Any help is appreciated.
