Lots of people have. It seems lately it either takes ~4 weeks from submission, or 3-6 months. The longer ones are because the people end up in delay status on the BGC...no rhyme or reason as to why.
And it’s definitely under the Submitted/In Process branch in eforms?
at least you're keeping yourself entertained.
Entertained for sure haha.
EForm was only impossible because it was a Form 4. 😁
I'm well aware that the group of trustees will have to go through this nonsense again and again for no good reason ... and that only the actual documentation proving the existence of the trust can be skipped from the time of this stamp's approval for 24 months beyond.
Wasn’t trying to argue...there were just several comments that didn’t line up with the rest.I'm well aware that the group of trustees will have to go through this nonsense again and again for no good reason ... and that only the actual documentation proving the existence of the trust can be skipped from the time of this stamp's approval for 24 months beyond.
My point was that prior to 41-F, none of this idiocy was needed with respect to people's use of estate planning tools for transfer purposes since, you know, even if there was a trustee who was a felon, that person still couldn't legally possess any firearms, rifles, pistols, AoWs, machine guns, etc. held by the trust. You get the idea: 41-F was annoying paperwork added to close a nonexistent loophole that only existed in the minds of certain political parties that don't like guns -- and this was my first time dealing with that waste of time BS that simply cost me more time and money ... as well as costing taxpayers said same.
Not that I'm bitter about it or anything...
The real cost was the time -- since fingerprinting in NC was halted for a long while (3ish months in these parts) during Covid-19 last year ... right after I made the purchase. Thus, neither I nor my trustees could get prints to initiate paperwork for that 3 months. Thus, total time from purchase to possession for me was just over a year thanks to 41-F's requirements, inability to get fingerprinted, and the ATF processing time. i.e. I'd have had 25% less wait time had there been no 41-F requirements as in days gone by.
A fair point on cost reduction, but I do believe there still would have been a wait, since "fingerprint cards must be completed by your local law enforcement authority" ... and when I spoke with both nearby county Sheriff's offices, they were handling nothing related to prints when fingerprinting was shut down due to COVID, last year. They wanted nothing to do with the general public, basically, due to no ability to socially distance. (I even asked specifically about ATF-form FD-258, but the people I spoke with had even less clue than I did.)
Just for some real world experience...
probably stimulus checks. free money and a crumbling republic means people are splurging on things they never knew they needed.
Figured with everything going on they started to become swamped with tax forms.
You had me concerned for a minute...but I think you put the wrong approval year for the Omega?
…and in the future, just mail it to the head of the NCSHP instead. Keep the local yocals out of it. 😎
And don't forget to update your address. Col. McNeill retired recently, and the new commander is Col. Freddy Johnson, Jr.
$16 paid. Not sure how they came to that figure, since my invoice shows i paid NC state and county tax (7%)... and they said it was because my profile had my old address on it (MI, 6%)
