License renewal?

[ront02769]

I am in a green town mailed in paperwork for my renewal end of Nov. week or so later I got acknowledgement of receipt. Fast forward to my license expiring a couple of weeks back leaving me technically without. i understand that getting the request in on time gives me SOME leeway for paperwork, but am not sure when I should do I tact the locals to see what is up. suggestions?

Call the state first and they will tell you if the locals even did anything yet

If you have the signed MICRS receipt before you old permit expired, you have an indefinite grace period (unless you’re denied on renewal).

I’d call the state hotline and see where it’s at.

Note: Grace period to keep what you already own, but does not allow for the acquisition of additional firearms or ammunition, nor the disposition of firearms.

Shops won’t sell ammo with the receipt (risk avoidance) or it’s not allowed? Buying a firearm makes sense if you don’t have the new PIN. You could sell firearms to an FFL I’d assume?

Do you know if it’s with your town still? Do you know the LEO in charge of licensing in your town, if so give him a call and ask him.

FACT!

Absolutely WRONG! Try reading the bottom of said MIRCS form.

No big box stores will sell you anything, stupidity. But the MIRCS receipt gives full privileges to buy/sell/carry until new LTC is issued. There is a small period of time when new LTC is activated with new PIN but PD still has it, MIRCS won't work during this period of time.

Thanks all! although Last time I was at station was to get pix taken for my CURRENT license. And given what I’ve read above,no big deal if it doesn’t who’s up soon

I expired during covid and they used my drivers license picture, you may not have to go in for a new pic.

to update this, i got my new Ltc in the mail today good until 2029 (likely longer than I’ll be good for ).

no problems.

My CT came in 10 days after I mailed them the renewal app. MA is going about 4-6 months out wtf.

How long before you expired did you send in your CR renewal app? Mine expires later this summer… starting to think about the process… did you get a renewal letter, or did you have to initiate the process?

Yah I got the renewal letter but I waited till a week before my CT expired to mail it in. Only had a few days of "lapse" before the new one came in the mail. Renewals in CT seem to be quite streamlined and quick. Apparently CCDL says even if you expire, if you sent in a renewal app you have 60 days of grace period where you can carry anyway while you wait for the new card. I couldn't get a hold of anyone at DESPP to confirm that though.
