Hi everyone.
I submitted my application for NH resident CCW on 12/19. All three of my references received letters stating that they need to reply within 5 days (envelope included with questionnaire). Since it was Christmas week, one of them was on vacation and didn't get theirs in until they got back. On the 30th I received a letter (dated the 29th) stating that not all of my references had responded yet and that my application was on hold - pending response from last reference. The letter also asked me to waive the 14 day approval/deny requirement. On the 1st, I went to the station to mention that the last reference had overnighted their letter and it shouldve been received on the 30th (I confirmed it had been). Today I received a call from the station saying that in fact all 3 references letters had been received and asked me to waive the 14 day response requirement because the chief was out on Holiday. That said, they informed me that next week I would receive a letter stating whether I am approved or denied.
Today is my 14th day - so I figured I'd post this to notify people that live in Portsmouth of the process here and how it doesn't follow state law. I'm interested in the outcome of the process.
