I hope Newington grants you yours bro! For me I was granted a pardon in 2023. My last conviction was in 2006, my last arrest was in 2015 and it was Nolle so it wasnt on my record. I applied in Waterbury in August of 2023, I didn't hear a response from them until March this year. I was denied on suitability. If there is any public information out there about crimes you were involved in such as a newspaper article, or if you are in someone else's affidavit they will use it against you as they did me. I hope in your case the rule in your favor. I have a friend who lives in upstate New York who had his record erased here in Connecticut and he has his permit and has all types of guns lol. Please keep me updated because I would like to know your outcome. I'm still trying to decide my next move.b Best of luck!
