Client applied to renew his existing LTC, only to be denied by an out-of-touch chief, citing a long-abandoned edict from the Firearms Records Bureau. Despite my letter to the chief, pointing out the clear error, the chief refused to issue the license.

The chief finally took my advice, at least the part about contacting town counsel, as I was preparing the petition to appeal the denial. She was versed in firearms law, knew the chief had relied upon an edict which the state made much about issuing, but remained silent about rescinding.

Bottom line: Client received his LTC today.
