New guy from RI - joined Forum today
Received my pistol permit with only a 3 wk time frame from application to issuance, with no influential contacts. Maybe they are awaking to the fact that "gun free zones" encourage the BG's to feel safe and settle in.
My advice to anyone that wants to CC and has a clean record is to be persistent in their quest to obtain your right (not priviledge) to bear arms in order to protect right to life. Most people don't realize that the mission of LE is not to protect, but to investigate. Protection is our own personal responsibility.
Good luck to all. Merry Christmas and Happy NewYear
