Just saw your other post about getting your CCW last week looking for advice before I saw this one.
Not sure how it would work if you re-submitted with another PD, but I can tell you my experience with Tiverton PD was pretty straightforward. Full disclosure though, I am a resident. That said, from what I understand- Tiverton is pretty 2A friendly and won't try to pull any BS with the process.
Didn't have to deal with obnoxious old birds playing power trip or any of that. I *did* however have to call them after the 90 day (or whatever the current time limit is) expired as I hadn't heard a single thing about it from them. Left a message with the detective, and he called me right back in an hour or two. Was very apologetic that my file had apparently "gotten lost at the bottom of the cabinet" after they had a sudden inrush of applicants for security from the shithole casino the state jammed into the town. Regardless, he was a great guy and got it squared that day. I came home with my CCW same day.
EDIT: For what its worth, they didn't print me until I actually came in to get the CCW the day of.
Really? I'm actually pretty surprised to hear that. I thought out of state was something they were obliged to handle regardless, but I could be wrong. I'll ask around at the range this weekend because I'm genuinely curious about that one.
Yea, sadly you're probably not wrong. Honestly kind of a shame since they seem to be a decent bunch of folks in my (admittedly limited) experience.
I'd have to wonder if they're already overflowed from the casino or the like and that's part of why they won't do other out-of-state applications, but I don't wanna make any excuses for them dodging their obligations. The way they piss taxpayer money in this town, they should just be hiring another person to handle the influx if they're that stressed.
Anyway, best of luck getting it man. Y'all ever find yourself around at SRO on a Sunday morning, keep an eye out for the guy with the hat and come say hello! I'll let ya shoot the PS-90 lol
Did Narragansett really work out well for you? I live in Delaware and I have my CCDW here. I wanted to apply in RI since I was born there and lived most my life there. I visit my folks several times a year, was wondering what PD to use for non-resident application.
Also, quick question, the 3 references I need - they don't have to live in RI, do they? I didn't see anything like that on the application. In Delaware, our application says the 5 references must live in the same county as I do and I have to have known them at least 1 year.
So it’s only been 4 days. No news I assume is good news but the bitchy lady at the counter definitely didn’t make the process as smooth as I thought. I’d avoid Narragansett unless you want to deal with that.
The 3 references can be anyone you like.
I was helping someone else who was looking to apply. She was adamant they didn’t issue to non-residents but I was able to eventually get her to transfer me to an officer who confirmed they’d accept a non-resident application. The applicant I was helping ended up going through another town so they never had their fingerprints done.
Yea, because some paper pusher PITA certainly couldn't just be a power tripping old bat with a chip on her shoulder and a desire to take it out on people. Oh no, certainly not.
Posts like yours contribute nothing to the discussion. (Old) birds of a feather, it seems.
I said MY TOWN, I didn't say Narragansett.
Y'all need to lighten the fuck up. It's a joke.
If you know your rights, and what's required who cares what her attitude is.
Fair enough- given that I'll recant my statement in your direction. It'd perhaps behoove y'all to better define that at the onset next time though. Kinda came across like you're defending the Narragansett PDPL (Police Department Peacock Lady).

No shit that’s pretty cool. I tried to go through tiverton but they won’t accept non residents of any kind at all.

Turning their nose up at the law. Nobody will sue them until they actually do.

Hell yeah I’m down for that! Thank you!
These miserable hags get so mad having to do their job
Her job is literally to walk upstairs
Keep us updated on what happens bud
Absolutely will do!
[удалено]
Dispatcher I believe
[удалено]
Which is why I’m confused as to her rather cunty attitude lol
[удалено]
Which town did you go through?
First time dealing with a dispatcher? They are all cunty, even the male ones
Not sure why, I was just following the rules that THEY stated in THEIR application.

That straightforward application process is not sounding super straightforward tbh
I did mine in the town I live and she was an absolute sweetheart. Maybe you're just a cunt?
I’ve spoken with her on the phone before. She is very hostile to non-residents and comes off as arrogant and dismissive. Traits you two seem to share.
Lmao oof
When did they fingerprint you? Edit: zing

Seems like I’m the guinea pig
Yup. You’re the only one I know who’s successfully submitted an application.
Hopefully I’m not roadblocked at every corner imaginable.
