Good luck, hopefully its noy a long wait.

First one from Meriden I see. New to the forum.. I go to Hoffman's to window shop(Most of the staff doesn't seem to friendly with the younger crowd until I started looking at Kimbers), I'll be buying at Newington Gun Exchange(Great staff!), and I shoot at Wolf's Indoor Range(Also great staff!).

Edit: To be fair to Hoffman's, the last time I was there the guy I talked to about Kimbers was a great help. If it had to do with me looking at a $1,300 gun, I do not know, but he was a cool guy. If I didn't have a relationship with NGX already, I'd have bought it from him. But, NGX has blown me away with their patience of me looking/asking questions while I waited for my permit. So, it will be a pleasure to have Tom help me loose a thousand dollars there.

I live in the Berlin area and I prefer Newington Gun Exchange over Hoffmans. Those that work at Hoffman think thier poop don't smell. Not very helpful and in most cases rude. This is the reaon that NCX is always busy and most of the time helpful. Now if they only get some ammo in stock.

Thats like that all over and depends what cal.

Hey there. Got my permit last month. It took about 3 months from the time I dropped off all the paperwork at my local PD till the phone call to pick up the temp permit. In the process of putting an AR-15 together now though.

Hows the ar-15 coming?

Oh well I was going to ask if it ever takes less than 8 weeks. I guess I'm looking at Jan. Should of got of my a@# earlier and done this back in the spring when I decided to get serious.
Maybe, the feds will get bored looking at my dull lifes record and issue an ok quicker.

It gets fustrating reading reviews and manuals and knowing I won't be able to do any thing untill 2010

Hello form Wallingford. I am new to handguns and waiting on my permit.

Good luck, did you decide on a cary gun?

Glock 23 or 19. Leaning toward the 23.

I love my 19, its just the right size for all around use.

Howdy and welcome. Shoot as many guns as possible before you decide. It sucks when you buy a gun and find out it doesn't fit you.

hi, new to the Forum (tonight) ...i was born and raised in Bklyn,NY and moved to CT about 20 years ago..still trying to get used to the crickets and the lack of night-time gunfire. Still feel like a red-state guy in a blue state. Looking forward to talking with you guys.

Born, raised, educated, employed in CT for first 62 yrs. Born Hartford, raised in W. Htfd., lived in Elmwood, Farmington, NB, Plainville, and Salem Accept for 2 yrs in military drafted army whole life in CT. Retired and wife and I became permanent residents of NV for tax purposes and weather. There is a public range in Marlborough and u can get a slot by calling the DEP. Hours are limited and slots are also. Poor shooting facilities here in CT. I shoot alot in Kingman AZ about 40 miles from my home in NV. Mohave Sportsman Club cost is reasonable for yrly membership for wife and I and hours are great as well as facility. I also am motorcycle rider hence the weather issue. Wife and I are ccw in NV and CT as non-residents. I have a springfield 40 xc subcompact and wife has a sw 38 sp +p j frame with larger grip. I have shot thousands of rounds out of my 40 and hundreds out of the 38 and had my wife shot both until she was comfortable. We are snowbirds and spend from @May until end of Oct in CT the rest in NV. No more snow, ice, freezing for us.
