Pistol Permit Tracker App
The Pistol Permit Tracker exists so any CT resident can quickly check how long the 30-day temporary
pistol permit process is actually taking in their town.
The data is entirely crowdsourced, so treat every number on the site as illustrative, not authorit
ative — it reflects what residents have reported, nothing more.
How to contribute
Submitting is anonymous and takes under a minute — no Reddit account, no karma requirement, no keycode, no waiting on a bot or a moderator.
- Go to map.ctguns.org.
- Click Log your wait time (on the home page) or Log your wait (on the map page).
- Step 1 — What and when:
- Pick what you’re reporting: Pistol Permit (issued by your town), or one of the state-processed types (Eligibility Certificate to Purchase Pistols/Revolvers, Eligibility to Purchase Long Guns, Eligibility to Purchase Ammunition, Non-Resident Permit).
- If it’s a Pistol Permit, select your town.
- Enter the date you submitted the application and the date you had the permit in hand — the site calculates the wait automatically.
- Step 2 — Verify and submit:
- Double-check the summary (type, town, dates, calculated wait).
- Complete the captcha.
- Hit Submit anonymously.
That’s it. Your entry is added immediately — no review queue, no approval step.
What data is collected
Just three things: the permit type, the town, and the two dates. No account, no email, no IP address is retained — nothing that points back to you.
A note on duplicates
If you’ve already logged an entry for the same permit type and town recently from the same device, you’ll see a note asking you to confirm it’s a genuinely separate application before submitting again
— this just keeps accidental double-submissions out of the data, it isn’t a hard block.
