A week ago today I whined about the ATF being technically challenged as I was trying to get clearance for the Boomershoot staff (and some bloggers) to handle explosives.
Last night I got a call from daughter Kim saying I got a letter from them. “Open it up!” I said. She did and told me that all of the people I requested clearance on, except for three, were approved. Those three are pending and are allowed to handle explosives until I am told otherwise.
I am flabbergasted. That was awesome “service”.
While I am of the opinion the ATF should be a convenience store rather than a regulatory agency I must admit they did their job well and without causing me pain once they actually got the paperwork in hand.
Thanks guys.
Janelle got her paperwork today. I’m guessing on that note I’m one of the three pending, and I know why I’m pending.
Yes, you were one of the three. They didn’t tell me why. But I guessed and it’s probably the same reason you are thinking of.
Well, I just got my paperwork today. The difference of dates between the letter I got and Janelle’s is approximately how long it takes to clear me for firearms. I’m reasonably sure that was the problem. I’m all good to go now. 🙂
