My MA non-resident permit is set to expire on 3/20, and I'm getting concerned. I sent my renewal application via priority mail, so I know it was received in Chelsea on 12/4/20. I paid the $100 fee with a postal money order, and according to USPS tracking, they cashed it. However, I haven't heard anything at all from them.
This past Monday, I called the number listed on the state's website for checking the status of pistol permit applications, but the woman I spoke with said that because I'm a non-resident, she had to transfer me to another number. That number went straight to voicemail, which said that they were only accepting messages from law enforcement agencies, and civilian non-resident permit holders need to send an email to [email protected]. I sent that email with all of my information at 8:44AM Monday morning, but still haven't heard anything back.
Does anyone know what's going on with this process? Is there any kind of grace period because of COVID, or are they using the pandemic as an excuse to just sit on these renewals? After taking my money, of course.
