Kudos To The BATFE!

My FFL expired on May 1. I never got a renewal notice. BATFE says they sent it in February, but I didn't get it. Maybe USPS lost it. Maybe my wife misplaced it. She always gets the mail.

Whatever the reason, I didn't get it. Then, around April 18 or so, I noticed that my expiration date was looming close, so I contacted BATFE, and they emailed me a renewal application.

I quickly sent in my application, certified mail. I wanted to be sure someone got it. I checked tracking and it never showed to be delivered, so around the 25th, I sent in a second application and payment, this time Express Mail.

In the past, even when I sent in my renewal in February, I rarely received my new FFL before May 1. I would receive a letter of authorization (LOA) instead, good for 6 months. So, I figured I would be in limbo for a few weeks waiting for a LOA, and then waiting a few weeks longer for the actual license.

Well, I was wrong. Someone at the licensing center got on the stick and got things moving. I received my new license on May 2.

WOW!

    It is good to hear that someone in the agency took the responsibility to take care of you, nunn.

    Particularly when they are doing a job that should not even exist.[:)]

    Now that they're no longer acting as "straw purchasers", illegally buying and selling firearms across the border, they probably have plenty of staff with nothing else to do!
    I'm happy that you're happy. [}:)]
    Arrivederci gigi

    That once tax agency can go to hell, no matter how expedient they were in this matter.[xx(]
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Yep, I was hoping it was about a big convention they held where cyanide capsules, and Jim Jones kool-aid were on the snack menu.
