Firearms & Freedom

My C&R finally showed up today, enabling me “to acquire curios and relics in interstate commerce.” That and qualify for some nice discounts at places like Brownells and MidwayUSA.

So I finally heard from BATFE on my C&R application. Looks like I sent an old version of the form, and they need the current one. I wish they would have told me that 3 months ago. So, they are sending me a copy of the new one, and I need to send it back. It sounds like it should be processed soon after that, not another 90 days.

After 3 months of waiting for my C&R, I decided to call the ATF to make sure there weren’t any errors, or that the packet was not shipped 2 months ago, and got lost or anything. Turns out they are still “proccessing” my application.

The woman I talked to was very helpful and friendly, so I guess they do exist there. I am told licensing is usually pretty good, enforcement is the part you don’t want to do business with.

Anyways, she said she would bring my application to the attention of a supervisor or something because it had taken so long, and that I should call back in a week.

And so the wait continues.
