how to get a CCW permit

[J’raxis 270145]

I have no objection whatsoever being used as a reference for this purpose by anybody known to me personally. If I know you and you know me, feel free to put me as a reference when you apply for a CCW license.

Since they can't collect phone numbers

Sometimes they try to collect phone numbers anyway. I have been phoned up by police who were following up on a CCW license. In that case the person seeking the license didn't know enough about the law to realize that a felony was being committed against her.

I'm bringing a copy of RSA 159 with relevant sections highlighted, and a copy of the official DSSP #85 for comparison to whatever they hand me, when I apply for a CCW.

do they actually mail these people and expect a response within the fourteen-day period?

I've also received mails from police and yes, they do expect a quick response.

Do they include a SASE? Does the USPS offer "Business" Reply Mail services to them? Or do they just arrogantly expect you to waste money to answer them? I probably already know the answer to this question, don't I...

Nope.

I have been a reference many dozens of times, and have never been contacted.

Maybe they're just more thorough with Free-Staters

The applicant is required to put down three references.  If contacted, the persons used as references are under no obligation to respond, and such lack of response is not a statutory reason for denying issue. 

That being said, references are only very rarely contacted at all.  I have been a reference many dozens of times, and have never been contacted.

I have been used as a reference twice and was CALLED twice.  Calling me on 'official' business on Independence Day is not the way to go about it.  Also they should know that I rarely answer my found and rarely return calls.

That's what I was wondering about; I couldn't find anything in the RSA about reference requirements. The actual form design and content is the responsibility of the state police, according to the RSA, so I assume they just slapped that in there... <paranoia>probably so that if anyone with a permit commits a crime while armed, the police know who else to harass and/or investigate.</paranoia>

Does that make it a CCCP?

I don't even think my kids even know what "CCCP" means.

[sandm000]

Obviously the CCCP is the Civilian Concealed Carry (license for) Pistols (or revolvers)

[error]

CCCP is also the issuing agency.
