I just got off the phone with my friends down at the Boston Police Department licensing office. Apparently, they're still "working on" my application. It's been 75 days since I passed my range test, 89 days since I applied.
The sergeant said it should take "another week, week and a half" or so to finish. I guess they're policy is to make applicants wait a full 100 days to "cool down" since we don't have a waiting gun purchase period here in Massachusetts.
Then he asked "That was for Sport/Target, right?" To which I replied, "Well, I applied for 'All Lawful Purposes' knowing that it could be subject to such restrictions regardless, and that I'd have to live with such restrictions."
And people wonder why Massachusetts has a shrinking population. Well, it's going to shrink by the count of four as soon as I can make it happen.
