My CCW permit is now almost three weeks over due from the 90 day wait period. Colorado is a "shall issue" state and I assure you that I qualify. When I called at about day 85 to check on the status I was told that a clerical error was made by the local Sherifff's Dept. in that they neglected to send in my finger prints to the CBI. The staff was very polite and apologetic so I let it go.
Tonight I received a call from my neighbor informing me that a Deputy had visited her to ask some questions about me. I have no problem with that but I didn't think personal references were part of the application process. Further, the Deputy informed the neighbor that the reason for the questioning was because I was applying for a concealed carry permit! Now I'm a little annoyed to say the least. Open carry is legal here so if I want people to know that I own and carry a gun I would open carry. Now my neighbors know that I have guns and plan to carry one. The neighbor informed me that the Deputy stated they routinely notify neighbors of those applying for this permit. Did they do a background check on my neighbor? How do they know that they haven't just informed a crack addict that I have guns at my house?
Have you ever heard of personal references and notification to neighbors as I've explained? Just curious and somewhat perturbed. :banghead:
