It took a couple of weeks for my appointment, but I visited the Tampa office today. I was in and out in less than 25 mins.. When I was done the gentleman said "you'll have your card in 2-3 weeks". I said "really?"
I say that because I'm one of those lucky guys that gets a "delay" about 80% of the time I buy a firearm. A couple days later and I get my gun, but I never get a reason for the delay. It got annoying enough so I filled out voluntary appeal so I could get a UPIN. That hasn't happened yet....its a 5 month process I guess. Either way, the past couple of purchases have gone smoothly.
I guess my question is, did the Tampa office do the background check? They seemed very confident this was a done deal...is it? I'm no felon, no bad marks...just this nagging habit of getting delays. I've been sweating it.. What did Tampa really do today other take my app, prints, pic, etc
Can someone put me at ease?
