mikeytapz13 0 Posted January 30, 2013 hey guys sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum, i am a newbie...So currently i have my utah ccw, ive had it for just over a year, and its been great since i do a lot of traveling to PA, as well as down south..My question is does anyone whom has their utah ccw also have a non-resident CT. As i mentioned i am becoming a doctor, and travel everyday to and from CT from NJ. With that in mind i thought it would be a good idea to have a non-resident CT permit. has anyone been through the process of applying for such? Any input from you guys would be great. It seems if i ask 10 people i get 10 different ways of approaching this(LEO included). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikeytapz13 0 Posted January 30, 2013 hey thanks a lot, i actually did my utah ccw through GFH and it was great so thanks for that!( i believe Anthony was my instructor). I contacted you guys a while back to take the Basic however with my schedule it hard to make a scheduled class, are their any private classes offered?

You are welcome (this is Anthony) email [email protected], he will hook you up. The CT is a bit of a pain, two print cards, etc, etc, but worth it if you travel there like I do.

ryan_j 0 Posted January 30, 2013 Anthony is on the money. You have to take nra basic as they do not accept first steps. The good news is that CT is a "shall issue" state in practice so once you're qualified you'll get it. And I believe that CT doesn't really have a "CCW permit" per se. They have a pistol permit which allows carry, either openly or concealed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJCK 5 Posted January 30, 2013 A non-resident CT pistol permit is very obtainable. Just expect it to be 120+ days right now. Make sure your print cards are very crisp and clean so you don't have to go through the reject-resumbit routine. Just renewed mine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H.M. Murdock 0 Posted January 30, 2013 10-4 good buddy, I have one. In light of current events it is important to clench your ass as tight as possible as you drive thru Rockland and Westchester counties in transit to CT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leadunderpressure 52 Posted January 31, 2013 CT is a may issue state but has an appeals process that makes it effectively shall issue. Most people get it without a problem. The downside is that they jacked the price of a ccw permit to nearly $200 each renewal now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And she said that was the correct response. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TulsaJohn 1 Posted April 12, 2013 When did that happen? I thought it was like $70 initial, 35 renewal. The pricing breakdown $70 for application process $50 CT Fingerpring processing They dont actually do the printing of your fingers to the card, just processing that card. $16.50 for FBI Fingerprint processing. Total $136.50 Plus you need to take a NRA Basic Pistol course with live fire. Cheapest I found was $135.00 in CT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donato 0 Posted April 12, 2013 Agree with everyone's post here. Easy to get, lots of paper work. Got mine in about 45 days about 7 months ago. Also no one above mentioned that you do need to show that you already have a ccw from another state for the CT non-resident. It doesn't have to be from your home state, any state will do. I made a copy of my FL ccw license and included that in the package. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan_j 0 Posted April 13, 2013 Ok so you're including the cost of the course which many have taken anyway... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
