"Progress" Report
So, at 1:36 this afternoon, I called the Boston Police Department licensing office to check on the status of my Licensse to Carry (read: Own) a Firearm application, which I submitted to them on April 27th - 75 days ago.
Me: Hi, I'm calling to check on the status of firearms license I applied for a while back.
Them: And when did you apply?
Me: April 27th.
Them: And your name?
Me.: Bruce [last name], that's [spells last name].
Them: OK, can you hold on a minute, sir?
Me: Sure.
Them: OK, thanks.
(on hold for five minutes)
Them: We're still searching, sir, OK?
Me: OK.
Them: Thanks.
(on hold for two more minutes)
Them: Sir, was that for a License to Carry or an FID card?
Me: License to carry.
Them: OK. Do you wanna call us back in half and hour?
Me: OK, sure.
Them: Thank you.
(fast forward to 2:15 PM)
Me: Hi, this is Bruce [last name]. I called a while ago to check on the status of my License to Carry application.
Them: Yeah, we're still looking, Bruce. Why don't you give me your...uh...why don't you give me your phone number and we'll call you if we find anything on that.
Me: OK, it's 617-[phone number].
Them: OK, thanks. We'll call you if we find anything. Sorry about that.
Me: OK, thanks.
If the phone doesn't ring, I'll know it's "them". :x
On the bright side of things, I DID get my picture taken with the Red Sox world series trophy this morning.
