I really think that our town is much like Mark's. They ONLY issue LTC-A:ALP. Either that or denied. My friend had his expire, he went up to the police station and asked what's going to happen? They told him, "As long as you don't leave the house with them, you're fine." Then they did his app the next morning when the Sgt was working. My wife called up to find out when she could get her app processed. The Sgt said that he was there now, and if she can come in, he'll do it now. She was in and out in less that 15 minutes, and her permit was back in just a few weeks. That was a Sat morning. I've done a renewal on a Sunday Monring because that's when he was working.
Like Mark's town. I think that there are some towns that take the rights of their citizens serious. I'm just glad that like Mark, I live in one as well. Too bad the rest of the State doesn't feel this way.
