Regardless, I'm still going to see if I can throw some money at this and get a license ASAP even before the court case in August...
Lets face it, its too cold to shoot right now, but its going to warm up between now and August !
RE the IAQ check.
That statement looks confusing regarding the IAQ.
If you look at the AFL form on the back, your local LEO does the IAQ, they then mark it "Approved" or "Denied" on the form...
Here it is:
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT USE ONLY
DATA BASE DATE CHECKED BY
WASIS/NCIC III
WACIC/NCIC
Warrant File
DOL Firearms File
DSHS
Local Check
IAQ
Approved Denied LEA Name Date
I just confirmed this with the Sheriffs office. I have also mailed my letter to the consulate and contacted my Sheriff and he has just replied to me.
MD's Sheriff said:
Once we are given any direction in this matter we will start adhering to the law, whatever it may be.
Anyway, I have my corporate lawyer looking into getting me a recent copy of my background check from USICS too.
The background check message I have from the FBI says that DOL cannot access the information available from NLETS.. Now why the sheriffs department cannot just go ahead and do the NLETS check for DOL, I have no friggin clue, the Sheriffs office CAN do it for DOL and mark a little box...
