I did my paperwork for my new FNS .40 on the 29th and no word as of yet. I'd imagine at lease another week or so before my paper work comes back.

The disparity in wait times is huge. Friend bought his glock 26 AFTER i bought my item. He picked his up last week (7 day wait. Picked up on the 8th day). Im still waiting. Not that i'm in any rush. Just not sure how the system is set up. And this is not an isolated incident im sure.

Same FFL or different one? I know some FFL's still snail mail while others fax in paperwork.

Your friends 8th day pick up gives me hope on my 8th day (TOMORROW)....my daughter will see her father act like a child for the first time, and my wife will see the geek in me all over again.
I did the same on the 22nd----not back yet.

That law has been changed some time ago. FFL's can only do that if they want to loose their license. The law now is they have to wait for the approval to come back from the MSP that comes with a release number that has to go on the paperwork before anyone gets their gun released to them.

Even the ones that fax the paperwork in are so busy that often they don't have the time to fax them in the same day as the customer filled them out. Often they end up sitting on the paperwork a day or so until they can find the time

I'm sure the shop closes sometime and the paperwork can be faxed to then after hours, not saying that the way it happens, but if it's done the way you stated with the way the buying frenzy is going they would never get the paperwork in.

Yes, they can and many do just that. But many shops are way over busy lately and they are doing their best as well as they try to fit some time in to restocking the store, maintaining all other business related records/paperwork, and sleep.
What I'm trying to point out is when someone walks into a shop and fills out the paperwork and places the deposit on the gun, the shop owners do not fax the paperwork over to the MSP as soon as the customer walks out of the store. Sometime they try to get to it after they close the store. Sometimes they try to get to it the next day. But these shops are so busy that many of them stopped answering the phones because of all of the customers they have in the stores everyday.

I was going to ask the same thing. I dont want to bug anyone and not in a rush for mines. Its only the 8th day for me though. Just as long as the Jerk-o-ticians dont push any retarded laws this month.

Bought my Sig P220 12/20/12. Lou's recording says as of today, no paperwork back from MSP on anyone's guns. WTF?!

I'm in the same boat. No fault of Lou's. his hands are tied as are ours. Maybe more so.

Called my FFL today, said he talked to MSP and was told they are working on some from the 21st, 22nd and the 24th. I've got two waiting from the 26th and the 3rd. I'm trying to be patient.
