    Staying current on your status could be a good way to build a nice collection.
    Who's approval? The state's, I presume. I asked the guy today when I picked it up (French Creek), and he said there was a gun show that had been slowing things down. Also, my last name is kinda rare, but around here it's a half-page in the phonebook. Normally, it's me and maybe 1-2 other entries (in much larger cities). Thus, maybe one of the other names was a felon or something.

    I guess the real test comes next time I buy a handgun. I plan on dealing locally now, so it won't be such an ordeal with the wait.

    How does one stay current on thy status?

    If there's any glitch/problem with the Insta-Check there is (I believe it's) a 14 day window for the Insta-Check people to resolve it or tell what is keeping the applicant from being approved so the applicant can either correct the records or what ever other action might be appropriate. There are times when FBI Agents are even delayed in being approved and have to go through the wait.

    They told me a 15 WORKING day wait. So holidays and weekends don't count.

    It only ended up 11 workdays, but the drive was more of a pain...and the suspense of wondering what the hell I did wrong, lol.

    He said even military folks with high-end security clearance (or something) get denied because the gov't blocks access to their records.

    Weird.

    Welcome to all the new members!
    You will definitely enjoy this forum.

    You might want to give Pa. Patriot (moderator in gorilla suit) a shout, being you and him live in the same county. He could probably help you with your "local" questions.

    GOOD LUCK AND BE SAFE!

    Hello. I've been around for a few weeks, but I just bought my first hand gun on Sunday in Harrisburg. Picked up a S&W Sigma 40 with the rebate and mag deal.

    This seems like a really great forum full of very knowledgeable members.

    Greetings folks,

    I'm a 34 Year old who just moved to the Pittsburgh area from Dallas with my wife. I was referred here by a friend who is a regular at events and such it seems. I am already in the process of purchasing a revolver from one of the members here and hope to do further conversing and such in the future with more of you, maybe even make some of the events in our area. This seems to be a great resource. Kudos to the community here!

    Hi everyone, joined a couple of days ago and really have been impressed with the info on this site. I enjoy the right to conceal, love to burn off a few rounds here and there. I'm in the process of building an AR. Excited to get to know some people here.
