My "knowledge" is based on the provable facts that they do not collect enough information to do more than a cursory background check... No references, no interview, no verification of employment (if you even submit any employer info), no address verification other than making sure it matches the ID submitted... And perhaps most telling, they don't NEED to do any of those things to meet the simple requirements of the statute, so why would they?

If you owe the government money, or have a court date for a ticket and don't meet that deadline, they will confiscate your stuff or throw you in jail for missing that deadline. They miss a deadline that is mandated by law and there is no repercussion. I suggest that anyone over the 60 days promised by law should be entitled to a refund of the application fees, I guarantee you the process would magically speed up if they started losing that funding for each application they dropped the ball on.

But by law, they have up to 60 days to either issue a new license or request more time.

What are the consequences if they fail to abide by the statute?

IANAL, but most likely none, unless you have deep pockets and know a pro-2A attorney that would take on a very long lasting civil case.

Exactly! Statutes and laws mean nothing unless they are enforced and there are consequences. Even if someone pursued litigation - what would they sue for? lol
