How long to get PIN in the mail?
I took my class on 3/28/09 and mailed the packet on 3/31/09. That's 5 weeks yesterday. Is this normal to wait this amount of time? Kinda thought it was 2/3 weeks to get the PIN letter.
I'm new to the forum but an avid shooter and hunter. Most of my hunting is w/bow but that doesn't mean I can't handle a gun well. Used a borrowed Glock 26 for the test and shot a perfect score. That's the best I could do (borrowing unfamiliar gun) to raise the stakes so to speak...lol
Thanks,
Mike H.

Call them.
Mine got lost in the mail. If I hadn't followed up - I'd have never known.

Welcome to the forum.
PINs have been running around a month. It wouldn't hurt to call. Have your application number ready.

Re: How long to get PIN in the mail?
From the other forums, people are saying that some PINs seem to be showing up around 60 days, and Plastic showing up pretty much right on the 90 day mark.
Right now, people that submitted around mid-march have just been receiving pins.

Thanks for that info. But I'll still try and call tomorrow and see what if anything I can find out.dicion wrote:From the other forums, people are saying that some PINs seem to be showing up around 60 days, and Plastic showing up pretty much right on the 90 day mark.

I called and the lady I spoke with said they are working on apps from the second week of March. I mailed mine on March 31... She said to call back in a couple of weeks.
