Last Fri/Sat was SIG days at the LGS. I've been wanting a 3.1" barrel and slide for my P365XL, but the prices for just those pieces was upwards of $400. Heck for $100 more I could get the FCU as well. Which is what I did. 2 Boxes of SIG ammo and $60 credit at their on-line store. (SIG is very strict about MAP so no cash discount. At least no advertised one.)
BUT guess what my GA Concealed License had expired. I GOT MY FIRST EVER NICS check. Took about 15 seconds. And yes, it came back approved! You worry with big brother looking over your shoulder whether they would get it right or not.
Went down to Cobb County Probate Court and had to apply for a NEW license since my had been expired 35 days. Means it cost more and I had to get a new set of finger prints. Cobb County bends over backwards to make the process easy (along with marriage licenses and other things they handle). They have windows in the first floor lobby and a sign-in kiosk. I had an 11am appointment which wasn't necessary. When I logged in the kiosk and it spit out a ticket my number was immediately called.
I did ask the Sherriff's fingerprint department why? Do they not have my prints already on file? Do they go bad? Do they change significantly? Of course it's a source of revenue for them as they don't get paid for arrest fingerprints, but collect $20 for CWL and other licenses, so they're not going to put anything in the suggestion boxes at work.
Just thought you guys would want to know, "I passed", so you can rest easy tonight.
