They won't accept just any prints, regardless of the agency that has them, they want me to go to a local LE office and have them officially printed on their records, then take them to the court and have the court say on their letterhead that I am who I say I am, and not the person they've mistaken me for. I have fingerprint records with other state and federal agencies all over, but none of them are good enough, just like having a current Colorado CWP isn't good enough.
I don't really need the gun, but I don't mind fighting on the principle if it means fixing a broken system for the next poor schmoe that gets the treatment. I have to admit, my expectation of actually accomplishing anything by raising the issue legally is nil. I will probably stay po'ed for a couple more days, then begrudingly take some time off from work to go do the "process".
I hope I don't live to regret my decision to move to Colorado. It hasn't gone quite like I wanted or expected yet. I've been hoping things get better, but I don't handle stupid too well. I get too much of it at work to deal with. This is about as stupid as it gets for me.
