4 months of dead time

[Donkey Kong]

Called to check my status on 3-form 4's today. I was told they are pending. Asked who my examiner was and was told they haven't been assigned to one yet. So you take my money up front and then throw my stuff in a file and don't touch it for the first 4 months......

Yep. They get their money pretty quickly....seems it would be more effective to go ahead and process it while already they have it in their hands

This will be a pretty apt description of any health care treatments too, once we have a single payer system.

This your first NFA item?

Slow process times, IMO, are just a way to regulate without calling it that. They are capable of processing applications faster, I am certain of it. About a month ago I received TWIC approval and the card in the mail in 4 days and the background check is more strenuous than the NFA check.

It sucks fo sho! I’ve got 3 all at different times, but once you collect a few it does make it a bit easier dealing with the wait.

one reason I don't have stamps or weapons requiring them, won a 22 cal muffler at ODT annual giveaway, and I asked Okuma to give it to someone else, wasn't worth the hassle to me.
