I just posted...that I was a bit nervous...like 5 minutes ago!
I then told myself, "Screw it!"...and I placed a call to my IOI (lady that did my ATF-FFL Interview). She reminded me that she had approved her portion, submitted it to her supervisor for approval/denial...she stated that it was approved by her office that same day and then sent off to the ATF Licensing Center. She suggested that I call them...I did. I then got even more nervous as the call was a lengthy (at least in my head) process...I'm just used to being told "No"...though I rarely accept that answer (just ask my wife!). I finally reached a human being, gave her my info...I'm "nowhere to be found". What the H-E-hockey stick-hockey stick?!?! I have her dig some more (keeping in the back of my mind, as I have heard before that they field hundreds of calls a day that are either bogus or stupid people (is there a difference?)...who will...NOT be licensed...so, a little faith in my pea brain)...she then finds me...YEA! She states, "Sir, your application has been withdrawn." Again, what the H-E-hockey stick-hockey stick?!?! I then remember that I had "ignorantly" applied for three separate licenses and that my 01 & 06 would be withdrawn for a refund...so, lady (again, not really her fault as so many stupid people call her!)...look for an 07! She did...took FOREVER..."Oh, here it is Sir", she says..."Good news!"..."Your Type 07 Federal Firearms License was approved at this final stage just yesterday, your FFL has been issued and will be mailed out either today or Monday." Wow! PTL!!! (That's "Praise The Lord" for the currently non-church goers!-LOL!)
So...since I have a big "BUTT", I'm really good at using "BUT"...all the time...so, I close with this: It seems that I may soon be a FFL, BUT not until I have the piece of paper in my hand...or, it hasn't happened!
Keep-a-prayin'!
Thanks for your time in reading this, I could have kept it real short...but I needed the humor, for myself at the very least!
