How long have people had to wait for their C&R license to come back? Mine will be in the mail on Monday, and I'm curious if everybody has to wait 3 months or so. I have a TxCHL, so maybe that'll help speed things up a bit

I got mine in about 4 weeks, but they misspelled my street. Had to wait another week for a corrected license. Waverunner, No Kidding?!! They paid a visit to you regarding your C&R app? That's the first I've heard of something like that. What did they want to know? |
| Got my C & R about a year and a half ago (pre-9/11, obviously). Took about 45 days to get the license. I've been told that since the antrax scare (not 9/11) that the applications have been really backed up since because of the contamination at the Brentwood postal facility. I don't know if this is true, only what I've been told. But, however long it takes, it's wortht the wait! Hang in there and good luck! |

Check this site out, this is all they cover. www.milsurpshooter.net |
You mean this isn't a normal procedure? The female agent said that this was a new thing they were doing because LOTS of people were now applying for C&R's and they wanted to make sure you were "qualified" via a personal face-to-face interview. Lucky me, she was quite attractive BTW. |

Waverunner, the ATF personal visit is only being done in NYC (so far). The Powers That Be are concerned that some people may be using C&Rs to circumvent the Sullivan Law. Haven't heard of such a visit outside the Boroughs of New York -- ATF doesn't have the manpower to do a face-to-face with every applicant in Podunk. Yet another benefit of living in the Big Apple, huh? A meet & greet with the JBTs! |
But waitaminute, I live out in Suffolk County Long Island! That's not 1 of the 5 boroughs(Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Bronx, or Staten Island) of NYC last I checked!

took mine 8 weeks. I got my first purchase yesterday a 1946 Turkish 1938 8mm Mauser. See the C&R fourm over at FALfiles.com for more C&R related talk. www.falfiles.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=39 |
