"Waiting Room"

[Grundy1133]

checked the site today...MAILED!

Anyone who grumbles about processing time let me remind 'em of the old days. I put my initial application in February 2009 and got my plastic almost 7 months later in September 2009.

and paid $140 for the privilege of doing it.
Like they say. "we've come a long way baby."
Cheaper faster and better.

Ugh, finally, it's all green and print is pending. I guess it's like the one person said they do it in batches..
.....

Yes, I am very thankful we came out of the past of 6 and 7 months but seeing everyone else opening their Christmas present first doesn't make the waiting any easier. I'll just remember to send in my next renewal all the earlier so it doesn"t lapse. Thanks for understanding.

In my opinion we shouldn't be charged a fee and put into a database to exercise our 2nd amendment right. But yes it's good that things are faster.

I don't have an exact timeline but mine came up as being mailed this morning, checked the mail at lunch (mail dude usually delivers from 11am to 1pm) and didn't get it today. Maybe it'll be there tomorrow.

"." Seriously, I don't recall who coined the phrase "The Waiting Room," but the concept has sure taken off. "

Ehem..ehem.. I believe it's yours truly..

Good job.

Your 15 minutes start now...... Oh! yeah you have to sweep up every night in here as well.

I have been in the verifying fingerprints and back ground for 30 days now
