Wouldn’t it make your job as a cop safer knowing that it would be less likely a civilian would have access to a firearm during a routine traffic stop, domestic altercation, or any response call?

I’m not arguing that illegal items can pass over the border, but that’s not an argument to not ban something. Should we just give up fighting illegal immigration and fully open our borders because some people get through illegally?

Yet I imagine you had no problem confiscating marijuana when it was illegal? 🤔

Thank you very much, very informative

Thank you very much, and also, so i only have the class done. I can start the process after that whenever I like right? I'm Abit short on cash ATM and would prefer to do it next month. That's okay right?

It’s something to try once in your life. You will either love it or hate it. I don’t know many people who love it.

What's wrong with Mainers' tongues?

I’ve seen 12 packs of Moxie cans recently at Highland Park Market in Farmington, Big Y in Plainville, and Gnazzo’s IGA in Plainville.

A soda from Maine that some people love but most people hate.

holy shit, they still make that rat poison? Kids wouldnt drink that in 1960, seriously.

So simple, thank you very much

Thank you

Working at UConn?

The small one in west hartford. I usually go to the wallingford location and don't remember seeing it but I can check when I go tomorow.

"What is this 'moxie' you speak of?", asks the newly transplanted desert rat.

To apply for a pistol permit:

1. Take the NRA Basic Pistol Course
2. Go to your local Police Department and request an application. They'll give you the application packet, and set a time for fingerprints. The PD may also interview you, though this varies by town.
3. Submit your completed application, fingerprints, NRA certificate, and checks/money order to your local PD.
4. Wait. A lot.
5. If approved, the town PD will mail you a "Temporary Permit", which is good for only one thing...
6. Take your Temporary Permit to the State Troopers/DESPP, and they will give you a (state) Pistol Permit.

I'll also second the mention of r/CTguns.

Big Y in Plainville carries cans and 2 litres of regular and diet.

Which stop and shop?

Dust, mold, pollen

Danny's Pizza in Enfield makes great chicken cutlet grinders

I saw some at stop and show a few weeks ago

OP, this is what they’re referring to:

Like this? Top of the page

In CT you have to take the NRA certification. Get that cert, have it!

Once you have that, you go to your town's main PD or town clerk, depends on how small your town is. You ask them where to apply. You go to that clerk/desk, you get the forms. You fill them out, provide the docs they require (including stuff like your ID, proof of residence, your fingerprint cards, and that NRA cert showing you completed the class and stuff) You also pay them.

Then, your town has to process your permit application. They'll run background check, log your fingerprints into whatever databases, etc (you'll do this before your application so you include the fingerprints with your app)

Some towns are fantastic and process quickly, some town clerks are major fuckos and purposely try to avoid doing this and delay your app. So you have to stay on top of them.

Once your town finishes your application and you pass your background checks and are approved, your town issues you a "temporary permit". This is *NOT* a pistol permit. This is just a step towards it. Now you have a set amount of days (check for current amount of time, it changed in COVID, I think it's 90 days? maybe less? Don't quote me, do your own research) to take that town's temporary permit to the State Police HQ or one of the satellite offices. HQ is probably the best bet, worked for me. You go there (idk if they do appointments only or walk-ins, call them for that answer) with your docs, and of course that temporary permit. They take your photo, process your information, and complete your permit. You leave with the printed permit in hand.

Once permitted, follow the law. Permits are good for 5 years, and you have to process a new one, similar to getting your Driver's License updated. During those updates, I believe they check your background again, so you better not be naughty.

You pay for NRA safety-course and cert. You pay for fingerprinting. You pay with the town app, you pay with the State PD final application and for your permit. Expect to toss a couple hundred all in.

Oh, also. If you fuck up *ANY* of the forms, they can use that to deny you and there is a probationary period to re-apply. So don't be an idiot. Fill out the forms accurately and follow the instruction of the clerk or the forms themselves. Or you'll be waiting like a year or multiple before applying again. And don't miss that temporary-to-permanent timing deadline, that also automatically disqualifies you. The system is made obtuse and expensive on purpose because this state wants to discourage people exercising that right.

Discontinued? Like they don’t make it anymore. I come from Maine, and it’s pretty much everywhere. Just figured I could get some down here for my relatives, but maybe not.

I remember watching the film at Christmas when I was a teen.

Grocery store worker here you can find what’s left of it around the Hartford area but unless the product guys have steered me wrong it’s basically been discontinued alongside tab

Once you have taken the class and have been given the certificate; you need to go to your local Police Department for fingerprinting, paperwork and background check. They will have a booklet on pistol permits outside the window to speak to an office and set days for fingerprinting. Once all that is paid for and done (8 weeks), you go to State Police Department and get it made into a permit.
