    Look like they are working on it. Mine was in my mailbox in seven days. No idea what they've done now to be so slow. Did you do your prints on 11/15 or 12/9? If 12/9, I would consider that the day to count from.

    Just got mine

    I started mine on 11/11/16 and just got mine two days ago, on Friday 12/16/16. Hopefully you will be complete some time this week. I thought the same thing I only had like two left for a couple of days then it went active.

    Put mine in on Nov 28th. Starting to wonder too. You're doing better than me though. :( Had plans for that Glock 40 for some holiday fun.

    If we the citizens have to abide by their rules to obtain a handgun. I've yet to understand why they can't abide by their "30 day" rule. Maybe they want to have the guns all to themselves, holidays you know

    Time line mine came card in the mail on 30th day. But that was what mine looked like toward the end of the process and I was as well very frustrated. If your fingerprint weren't submitted till 12/9 then that is when they can really start such background checks so if you don't have it by 1/9 I would start to get more irritated. Also all the holidays really effects there work and time line. For mine I put my app in two days after a guy on here and mine was a little over a week later do to the 4th of July holiday. It really sucks but being patient will pay off. I had exactly did my DC a week after and had the letter come the same week as HQL Card.

    I submitted mine 11/15 as well and received physical card in the mail 12/16.

    Have you missed a phone call from the MSP? They called me 12/12 about some issues with the online "attachment" submissions not going through. I had to email some pics that day.

    Watched pot doesn't boil! especially when there is no penalty or incentive to be efficient.

    WOW this crazy having to wait over 30 days for a license. Must be a influx of new people getting their licenses during the election? So happy I dont need one. I hope you'll get some good news in a few weeks. My guess with Christmas nothing is getting done.
