Heads up--
I sent an e-mail to the chiefs clerk (see below) seems it was a mix up at the front desk. Here is the whole conversation...

Hi Ruth-
I submitted my LTC renewal back in May and have not heard any feedback as to the status of it. I was hoping you could take a moment to get some information for me in that respect. I called the dispatch desk? (413-436-9595) and asked if they had it. Nothing there yet. I didn't want to intrude on your schedule, so I thought I'd drop an e-mail. I appreciate any help you can be. You may respond either to this e-mail address or to any of the numbers below. I am in my office daily until about 3:00PM or anytime on my cell.
Thanks

Recieved this in addition to calls to my office voice mail and home that afternoon

Hi Paul,
I went out in dispatch and found your card right away. I'm not sure why the Dispatcher couldn't see it when looking in the folder. I issued the card on June 26th ,2006.... but, Maybe it was busy in there and they were preoccupied with police calls at the time you came in. I will send an e-mail to all to just remind them where the cards are in dispatch. (just in case) The letter or pin number letter, is attached. The Firearms record bureau has issued everyone a pin number because you need to use it when purchasing a weapon at dealers who are on line with the state.
Sorry about the mix up.
Take care, Ruth Davis

Hi Ruth-
Thanks for the blazing response to my e-mail. I picked up my license this weekend. I just wanted to drop a line and say thanks. Sometimes things don't move as smoothly as we'd all like, and when it does, we rarely make mention of it to those who deserve it. This efficiency reflects great credit on the Department and your contribution to it. Thanks again.

CC'd this to the Chief as well when I sent it. Sometimes not all the right people hear the right things. Thanks again.
