3/9/22: Submitted an eform 4 for a Rugged Obsidian 45.
10/22/22: Disapproved after a 227 day wait.
Paperwork wrong? Fingerprints Illegible? Background check pull up something suspicious? Nope. The wrong PDF was attached to the submission by the dealer (I filed for two cans on the same day, a Rugged Micro30 and the Obsidian 45. Micro30 paperwork got attached to the Obsidian application).
You'd think that would be no big deal. Easy enough to correct: send in the right PDF, background check is already done, easy peasy....nope. No way to edit a submission. Money refunded, go back to the back of the line and try again.
10/27/22: Resubmitted an eform4 for the same Rugged Obsidian 45.
3/9/23: 365 days from initial submittal. If current wait times hold, I will finally receive the item I bought last year sometime in July or August of this year after ~500 days.
500 days to buy a muffler that can be bought over the counter in multiple other countries to damage my ears slightly less. 500 days to wait to take possession of an item I've already paid for....over a paperwork error. Not to mention how insane it is to have to run a background check AGAIN after I already cleared one for this item, plus have passed a previous security clearance screening, had a CHL for over a decade, already own multiple SBRs and other suppressors, all of which required background checks....
Our gun laws are absurdly stupid.
