Another U.S. company selling out overseas.......we are being invaded and taken over and never a shot will be fired...............I guess the pen is mightier than the sword.
The only one who can truly answer your question about job change is you, how bad do you dislike what you are doing now and how bad do you want to become involved in law enforcement. You have to decide.
There is a duplicate form that you can get usually at any department that issues gun permits. At my department I always go to my site and check on there status. If it doesnt show what I need, I call state police firearms section and talk with them.
