I doubt if it is laziness that caused them to be out of paper applications because when I was in there about a week ago the lady behind the desk had a stack of them ready to be processed about three feet high. I guess people are getting scared and running down there to fill them out.
Thanks for the tips guys, I did manage to shoot it right after I bought it so I do have practice on it. Believe me I have thought about taking it to the range and shooting it and if something did happen use the place of repair excuse but I would rather be safe than sorry.
LEO - Son why is...
Just applied for mine last week in Indianapolis. I was told I would know in 10-12 weeks. I submitted mine online so hopefully that will speed things up but who knows. A lot of people were in there when I went to pay so I guess they are getting popular. No range shooting for me for a few months...
