). WIth the current anti-gun Sec of Public Safety in office, I have been told that he has made "numerous changes" (and none to our benefit), so nothing will surprise me if they now require your first born and a letter from the Pope to get LTC-A/ALP!|

No long speeches, no letters, no bank receipts, etc. [Worth noting: Our last pro-gun chief retired & died in 1985 (a personal friend) and his two successors are as anti-gun as they come (one never carried a gun, even on duty)! Even totally disarmed us (Special Police) which resulted in losing 35 volunteer officers who were all trained and certified (we actually got more on-going training than the FT POs back then). . .and there has been no increase in the size of the FT force even with a population growth >50% in the 31 years I've been here.] |
but whatever works! I think some EOPS changes in "policy" may be responsible for this, wouldn't surprise me. Last Fall was the last time I filled out the forms. BTW, it was $100/year for the NR permit . . . has it gone up to $200 for NR? Or are you military that gets a 2-year LTC and they charge you double (not fair to double charge, but this is "taxachusetts")?|
