Pistol Permit Question - Typo?

Featured Replies

So, hypothetically speaking, what happens if you find a typo or clerical mistake on the pistol permits issued by your PD? Say they put down the wrong height, weight, eye color, or race. If you bring it to their attention, do you have to do the whole process over again to get this corrected (i.e. do they make you wait), or will they reissue/correct the mistake on the spot?

 

Purely conjecture, of course...

My guess is a detective would correct it, initial and date it. Like they extend permits. Just a guess...

Last set of permits they put 61" tall instead of 6'-1" - I had them fix it, a little white out tape and they just retyped all the copies right over the tape.

 

This time my age was wrong and I didn't give a fugg. Hypothetically of course.

Last time through, Chief missed signing one permit.

Brought it back, taken care of in 5 minutes.

 

After all the BS they put you through, it's amazing how much attention they pay to detail.

 

Now careful I don't want to do any cop bashing here or their local patronage employees....

Mistakes happen, it's the actions that take place to correct it that matters. Any typo should really be able to be handled in a matter of minutes, if not then there is something wrong.

The last time I changed my address, my FID had the wrong issue date, and DOB. In fact, it said I was 10yrs old, and that they had issued the FID to me before I was born. I walked back in(was still in the parking lot checking things over) and they typed up a new one.

Considering I'm in the middle of tax season, working 18 hour days, and eating bad takeout every night because I can't make it home for dinner, I will freely admit that the weight on my current Pistol Permit is no longer correct and probably won't be for the forseeable future.

My PP's had the wrong age on it, one year less. When i picked them up me and the officer went over them to make sure everything was correct, and when i brought it up that i was actually a year older, he looked at it, said well your birthday is right so wtv, i used 2 of them and nothing came of it.

 

When i went in to extend one of the permits, they told me i never signed the initial application and i just signed it right there.

I've had this happen before. Picked up a permit and went straight to the store, where I saw the mistake. I took it back right away (this was 7:00 PM) and the officer at the desk made the correction while apologizing profusely. They should fix it for you without any hassle.

Middle, heck it's just the beginning, lol The wife does tax's for about 1250 to 1500 people a year, I think I'll see here about the 3rd week of March for about a week and a half before the final crunch.
