Yup, if it hasn't been lost in the mail. In which case I cannot even make any kind of claim until Dec.16th. My biggest concern is mine (and many others in the same shoes, who SHOULD HAVE HAD THEM by now) got stolen from USPS and right now some scumbag is walking around with a CC license with my name on it. That doesn't sit well. Xenophon's check was cashed almost 3 WEEKS AGO on the 7th!!! I know another, Browning300 from WI Shooters Forum, who's check was cashed on the 9th, Trip 20's on the 10th... mine, AJ Dual's, and a few others from arfcom on the 14th. We ALL mailed on the 1st. I know a guy who MAILED on the 7th, and got his today!!! There's no plausible explanation for this delay other than mischief. If it's not mischief, then DOJ is totally inept. Sooner or later, you have to realize something is amiss and they're not coming. Patience only delays the inevitible.
Page 1 of the application form explains the process. If app is complete and correct, check is deposited, app moves to background check sequencing. If check's cashed app's been "processed", is correct & complete. Page 1 also says apps will be processed in order received. If Xenophon's check was cashed on the 7th, his app was approved on the 7th, or sooner. The background check, printing, mailing has not been done in 18 days? Yet others have check cashed, license issued, received, in matter of days? And their process begins days later than those of us still waiting? C'mon man. Something wrong... open your eyes. We're your friends and fellow gun owners, and we're getting screwed over.... and all anybody with a permit can say is "patience... it's comin"??
