Update. Framingham licensing

[42!]

It is almost like the old whack-a-mole game. You put out one fire, and another pops up somewhere else. It is almost as if someone at a higher level is "coaching" them. I wonder if Comm2A does an FOIA on all departments, looking for the words "suitable", "appointment", "denied", "delayed", "delay", "denied", "revoked", etc., maybe including the state or one of the groups that give them guidance, as one of the correspondents.

Another update:
I have been emailing with an individual who turned in an application to the PD, was given an appointment for the interview a couple weeks out, as well as a receipt as proof of submission.
Seems the PD is living up to their commitment to resume the normal process

YAAA! Did original 1st time applicant get a date for interview?

Wish I could answer that, but Sparky (the original communication path for the original new applicant) decided to take his ball and go home when he was asked to have the original applicant follow a specific process.

Hmmm, don't know why he got so pissed off.
Hopefully he realizes this is the People's Republic and WE have no guaranteed rights, only rights that are approved of by the leftists.
GUNZ are NOT one of their approved rights.

As long as there have been permits , individual departments have abused their authority.
Years ago the next town over from me ,the chief wouldn't even give you an application.
His stance was "No one in this town is carrying a gun unless it's one of my officers".
He would make you take him to court just to get the application ( Cost at the time, about 1500 dollars IIRC ).
Then he would deny the permit and back to court again.
He lost most of them , but if you couldn't afford it, oh well .
He was the textbook case for not allowing individual towns discression .

It seems that he got p!ssed off, because he did not receive the unconditional support and affirmation of NES' hive mind, and instantaneous, overwhelming, and successful action on the legal front from Comm2A, cutting through the obscructions, a la:
