Here's my tale:
About 4 months ago I lost my wallet and immediately reported my lost LTC to the Quincy Police Department. The firearms department was very nice and said no problem we'll order a replacement.
A month later they called and said the replacement came in and offered to mail it to me because of COVID precautions. However, weeks later I still have not received it and was asked to wait longer just in case the USPS messed up. Two more weeks later, after calling the USPS on the forlorn hope that they had it stashed somewhere, I'm assuming the post office lost my mail. I connected with her around maybe just getting a new replacement, but she said she "lost" my file, and would give me a call back when she found it. Needless to say after a week of waiting, I got no call back. Attempting to get an update, turns out the firearms person was on vacation.
One more month, I finally managed to connect with the firearms person again, and she had no memory that we had a back and forth around my replacement, as she said she has no record in her file. I told her at this point it's been a few months and I still haven't gotten a replacement, and she said, she has to connect with her captain around ordering me another one "as I had order a replacement once before back in 2019", which I had, having lost my wallet back then.
For the past month I've been calling her every three to four days just to check in, always polite, and every time she's either said that she hasn't spoken with the captain or the captain hasn't said anything to her. Calling her today, she brushed me off the fastest so far, saying she'll try to speak with him (or her) later today, but just be patient.
At this point, I'm very frustrated. I've been extremely polite and understanding, have never violated any law. I received my license at the age of 19 with the standard QPD "Target shooting and hunting only" restriction, and never sought to get an unrestricted license (which they allow for after age 21) because I never felt I needed it, so I don't understand why the process has been made so difficult for me to get a REPLACEMENT copy of my LTC.
What are the options available to me at this point? I don't feel comfortable going to the range without a LTC card just in case I get pulled over on the way to the range, so its been a while since I've been.
Update 10/20 - I've emailed the Captain that I'm pretty sure is in charge, also called the office of the Chief and had them drop my contact info with the captain in charge of firearms. Called the state firearms section, they confirmed that a replacement was made in June, but said they couldn't do anything without the PD putting in a request first.
