Connecticut was like "hold my beer" when it comes to lack of information or getting a hold of a person to get proper information.
The initial application process for the out of state CCW was a tad bit annoying. The only way to get the packet was by emailing them a request for the packet via snail mail.
The paperwork was all straight forward. I submitted the paperwork via snail mail. Within two weeks, I got an email from their criminal background check division. It said that my finger print card was no good due to - "too much moisture."
The email had a barcode and number on it with very basic instructions. There was no information on where it had to be mailed to or who/where to attention it to.
When I called up the CT state finger printing division, their automated system was broken. When selecting the correct prompt, the system said incorrect selection and would hang up. After two hours of getting bounced around different departments, i finally got a hold of someone who was able to give me the correct information.
NYPD may not pick up their phones 95% of the time. but at least all their paperwork and instructions are thorough with all of the necessary information.
