It took me longer to get the forms than it did to get my license, about 3 weeks.
You guys are aware you don't need to send off for paper forms any more? ATF put a PDF version online, you can fill it out on your PC, print and mail. http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/at...16-notice.html |

58 days
Squeaky clean record. Midwest region. Here's the timeline.
07JAN12 - Mailed application to BATF 13JAN12 - Credit card charged 23JAN12 - Official start of C&R application processing (according to help desk). Status is now "pending". 21FEB12 - Call to help desk attained the first-three and last-five digits of my future FFL number. Instructed to use these when calling back. 27FEB12 - Status still "pending". 29FEB12 - Status "approved and issued". 01MAR12 - License mailed to me. 05MAR12 - License received in mail. Bottom line: 58 days round-trip to my mailbox in the midwest. Counting from the "charge" date, it was 7 weeks and 3 days. Last edited by pbnelson; March 5, 2012 at 03:09 PM. Reason: Font change |

Got mine in 3 weeks.
I had even just ordered another handgun to be shipped to my LGS because I wasn't expecting it... Keep in mind that there are factors which you may not be aware of, that could cause processing "delays" for your license. I know someone that is routinely held up at airports because he has the same name as someone on a "watch list"... My guess is that if the BATF feels it needs to query another gov't agancy for info about you, you're gonna be waiting a while longer- perhaps a looong while- than someone that goes through without a hitch. |

Supplemental Packet Contents
System won't let me edit my former post, so re-posting this with date for FFL supplementary information packet added.

Moderators, why not just go ahead and make this topic a sticky?
It's not like it's ever going to go away...

If the guns covered are not considered firearms by Federal definition, I have never understood the purposed/need for a license. I know, part of it is because the Feds say so. But, really, why?

Did the same thing with me. Just because they cashed the check doesn't mean you're approved. They can refund the money to you if you're not approved and earn a tiny bit of interest in the mean time.
