A priest friend moved From FL to Attleboro, MA about 5 years ago. His wife already had a CCW permit from Florida, and it took her about 9-10 weeks to get hers there. He applied for his CCW, and it took him 2 1/2 years to get his permit, even though he is ex-LE, and a reserve Navy officer. About a year after he applied, he was car-jacked. After that, his application was denied because they said he might use the CCW as a means of revenge.
What I can't figure is, he already had firearms, and had registered them with the local PD. How would a CCW make it more likely he would use them for revenge? He appealed to his state assemblyman or whatever they call state legislators up there, and got his application reinstated. Still took another year to actually get his permit, though.
