We have almost the exact same time line. I sent my papers in via snail mail on 04/03. I'm still "under review". Maybe tomorrow ...

Sounds like I am in that same time frame. Austin received my packet on 4/3 too. I wish they would hurry up. I am going to be on vacation starting the end of next week and I wanted to have my chl license by then.

Going on vacation on June 22nd and would like to have mine.

Your first update was same as mine, but mine is still pending :(

When you look at some of the timelines, it makes no sense. Sometimes timelines add up and other times things just are out of whack. People sending off at end of April are being mailed, but beginning of April or even March applicants still waiting. Oh well, it is what it is, but you would think there would be a system that gets it somewhat in order.

armanius, you and I are identical with regard to date mailed and background check still pending. We are also identical with regard to "a gun shopping spree since Christmas" (actually, my spree started in -ahem- the second week of November), and, although I think the FBI is prohibited from keeping records on background checks for gun purchases, this delay has made me wonder.

From what I've been told, if someone purchases 2 handguns from the same dealer with a week - a form is sent to ATF flagging the purchaser - what happens after that I have no idea..

Same thing if you buy 2 semi automatic long guns grater than 22 caliber and with a removable magazine. It is actually 2 in 5 days I think is the criteria for mailing the form to the national tracing center and local law enforcement. Now the handgun thing is anywhere in the country I believe, the long gun is only recorded of you live in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, or California.

pretty quick process so far.....hope posting this doesn't jinx it, haha

I mailed my packet on the same date as you....

And I got my first update on the same day as you....

Still in background check though

lol. It kinda concerns me that mine went to never never land since people that updated after me already have been updated or mailed or received already.

New here and getting a little impatient like maybe some others. I am kinda confused on how long the background check takes. I have basically never been in trouble and it seems it is taking forever. It takes less than 2 seconds to clear every time I buy a gun and I even got a TWIC card in less than 3 business days. Can't wait to see the update.

CHL class was on 2/24
Paid for BG check and processing online next day
fingerprint appointment not until 4/5
Mailed info on 4/8
updated to bg check under review on 5/10

still under review today.
