Wallingford CT pistol permit wait time?

[Sankie1224]

Hi all first time poster. I submitted everything for my temporary pistol permit at the Wallingford PD on Monday 10/26/15. The woman at the permit counter told me it takes 8-12 weeks. I was wondering if anyone had any info on how long WPD takes to process. Also wondering if I should wait past 8 weeks or contact them at 8 weeks and file an appeal if its not ready because I thought they had to do it in 8 weeks or less. Any info would be great, thanks.

The state statutes say they have 8 weeks. File an appeal if it takes any more than that. My town said the same thing and I got mine in about 7.

The wait isn't due to the town it's mostly with the background check and processing at the state level.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I figured just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything

The Board of firearms examiners is scheduling into 2018 what good do you think an appeal would do for you? :banghead:

It would get him in line. Also, he could withdraw the appeal once he gets his permit ... many do this.
