    Am I voting on approval or when I got the card?
    When I did in 2014 started my app on a saturday. Did the fingerprints on a Monday, had the card in the mail on a Friday. So I counted that as four days.

    Finished my wife's on 2/10 and they only have 2 of the things on the checklist marked as completed.:wtf:

    Mine was this way as well all the way til it became active. It also seems they they wait til the last week to activate the license. Just how they are!

    Applied 2/29
    DHMH completed 3/3
    No activity since. I'm starting to get excited though, since it looks like some who applied a few days before me just got theirs approved. Maybe tomorrow...

    The DHMH is done almost next business day from most I've talked to then all the rest were done the day it was approved for me... 28 days later :mad54:

    Update: Everything except the NICS check shows as completed as of this morning. NICS shows as incomplete. Anyone know why this would happen? I bought an AR-15 in the beginning of January, and the NICS went through without issue. I know it says that someone will have to contact me now, but from what I've read, this could take another week or more. Very frustrating!
