Hello I recently applied for my pistol permit which I have done several times before always being approved and my police department usually has quick turn around time about a week and half. This time it has been almost a month and now I am being asked to give the names and date of birth of everyone who lives in my household, which I never have been asked before. Is this some new law or did I miss something on the application? Has anyone had something similar happen to them recently?
