Title: Neither denied or approved, Judges discretion
Post by: DefendUSA on October 22, 2010, 04:25:55 PM

I talked to the Prothonotary's office today. She informed me that she had my application in front of her and she was sending it to the Judge to sign. She told me that it wasn't reccommeded to be approved or denied and that it said at the Judge's discretion. She told me to call back on Tuesday and she should have an answer for me. My question is...Is it a bad sign when its at the Judge's discretion and not reccommended or denied by the investigator? What do you guys think? Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks

No one is going to stick their neck out (regardless of the amount of investigation) and say, SURE!!!! Give this guy the right to carry a loaded weapon...    SO, they basically say they find no reason to deny you which tells the judge everything checked out.  If no one peed in his cheerios that morning, you should be golden.  I've also heard that unless the judge has a solid reason to deny you that they cant.  Again, just something I heard.  I'd like to think it was true.

Yep. They use "not recommeded or approved" phrases to cover their rearward external regions. Just jargon for "Go forth and carry, my son."
