I've been told before that having a TWIC card was the reason I was always delayed when purchasing a gun..


Any thoughts? Any phone number that works?

The $140 check I mailed off cleared my bank 3/19 but Im still not in the system. Anyone else run into this. Since the check has cleared they have at least opened my packet and started on it earlier this week cause it takes 2-3 days for a check to clear my bank.

Every single stage is just as annoying as the 1st including the mailed status mine went to Mailed on 3/14/13 and still nothing. People with the same mailed date as mine received it yesterday so I'm hoping today is the day.
