I went to get fingerprinted for my concealed carry permit in Newport News, Virginia, and asked what happens to the 2 sets of fingerprints. The fingerprinter told me that one set gets sent to the FBI, the other to the VA State Police, both to run background checks on me.
Now here's where it gets interesting: I asked what happens to the fingerprints. She said the FBI keeps their set, and the VA STate Police set gets sent back to the NNPD -- where they keep it on file.
According to my reading of the Virginia Code, the NNPD is supposed to notify me that they have my prints back and that I can either request them back or tell them to destroy them.
Can anybody familiar with this tell me what I'm missing, before I write a letter to NNPD?
PS while getting fingerprinted, I had to listen to a lecture on how permit holders get into shootouts all the time with each other, and no "civilian" needs a permit because the police are there, yadda yadda yadda. I smiled and said my wife felt the same way, until there were 2 murders, 1 armed burglary, and 2 rapes in one week in Newport News -- and one of the rapes was after the woman blasted the rapist with a full can of pepper spray. Whatever you believe about concealed carry, you gotta admit that one round of .45 Hydrashock would have done more good than all those ounces of pepperspray.
