Those whose gun permits are denied or revoked in Connecticut often have to wait more than six months for a chance to appeal, despite a state law that requires such hearings within 10 days. A state auditors report released last week found that the Board of Firearm Permit Examiners had a backlog of 649 appeal cases in June 2014 for gun permits that were denied or revoked, according to a report released Tuesday. While the audit stopped measuring at 2014, the backlog continues to this day, Nancy Lotas, office manager for the board said. She is now scheduling hearings for April 2019, she said. When she explains the backlog via email to those who are appealing, some are surprised.
