It's amazing - "The Letter" came today (6 additional days) asking for "Certified Documentation" to prove that the "self Reported" felony arrest was cleared to allow the issuance of a CHL license. What bothers me about this is that it took them 125 days to inquire about the arrest, not to mention the fact that on the application I put the terms "Misdemeanor", "Juvenile", and "Youthful Offender". According to the Clerk of Court in the county of question, the only record that still exists is my name and minimal information next to it on the origional court docket filed deeply away in the basement of the Courthouse. None-the-less, I sent a copy of that (page of the docket) along with copies I received from my lawyer of the results signed by the then judge AND a copy of my CURRENT FEDERAL FFL LICENSE express mail directly to the manager of the department - a Ms. J.C. - I will begin calling next week wondering WHERE my license is - I think I might even start requesting my call be directed to the manager - Ms. J.

Today I discovered (from a third party) that I will have to answer questions / provide documentation for an arrest that occured 28 years ago that the state of Alabama has no records of (it was a misdemeanor and I was a Youthful Offender - records were destroyed when I turned 21 - should be interesting). I'll wait a few days before doing anything in case a "letter" is on its way like the third party stated it would be. One of the things that gets me about this whole process - I have a Federal FFL, that proves I must be guilty of something, right?JPGIII wrote:Aladinbama,
Have you seen this letter Chas put together? Send it to them since you're pass the 90 day mark. (of course you'd have to be ready and willing to go to JC)
I'm finding it interesting that it's taking 60 or so days for each of these occurances to be seen. The original finger print card was supposedly missing (but was amazingly found later, at around day 60) and now the arrest (at around day 120) - shouldn't that have been one of the first things they wanted information about, if they indeed needed it (90 or so days ago)? I'll file when the "date" catches up again, if it ever does. It seems they are really good at creating these "delays", amazingly about 60 days apart.
And no, they received my completed application on the 16th of April and CASHED my check on the 22nd, they might, but I'm not resetting my timeline.
Day 126, but who's counting
(this whole process for me has now passed rediculous)
!) - gotta keep my sense of humor (although I have a feeling with my next contact with DPS that will be gone).
