May be time to Lawyer up
I am a resident of Bristol RI and i have applied through the town for my CCW. It has been almost a month and i have not heard anything from the department. I plan on calling on monday to check on my satatus, I was wondering if anyone here could refer me to a good lawyer if i do not recive a posotive outcome. It may not come to that but i would rather be prepared and informed ahead of time if it does.
Case is official, breif can be found below.

Easy there, Annie Oakley (line from The Simpsons)
From what I can figure, the average time to issue a town CCW in RI is 60-90 days. Calling for a status is probably not a bad idea, but it's premature to call in the troops, I think.
Not to drag traffic away from NES, but you may find some more knowledgeable info in the forums at www.rifol.org or www.cralri.org.
Good luck!

another thing to consider, you may not want to post "threats" of lawyering up so pre-maturely on a public forum that many officials monitor.

If/when you feel you need a lawyer for this, I recommend Keith Langer from Wrentham, MA. He is admitted to the Bar in both MA and RI and he is a very tenacious firearms attorney.
