Hello. New poster here.
Few days before this insanity and mass hysteria has started I purchased 2 O/U shotguns. Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 for myself and SKB GC7 for my girlfriend as an Xmas gift. I already own multiple firearms, so I did not anticipate any issues, but on Monday 12/17/12 I get a phone call from my LGS saying that DOJ put a delay on my DROS.
Called DOJ the next day. They wanted to know about a minor run-in with the law I had in '94, most likely in the light of the CT events. No biggie. All charges were dismissed so I have nothing to worry about. My lawyer faxed them paperwork, I called back in to make sure they received them and the lady who handled my case told me that she did, in fact, receive them, everything looks goods and she will release the guns in the next day or two. Two days come and go, but no release. I call DOJ and by that time no one is picking up the phone in the DROS department. I keep reaching general info line and they keep telling me that I can no longer talk to anyone.
Over the next 3 weeks I continue calling, and people that handle general info line tell me all kinds of stories and none of them match. "Next week", "Few days", "Right after Christmas" (did I mention that SKB was an Xmas gift for my GF?).
Anyway, it has been 22 DAYS since the delay. 22 DAYS. I just called again at the lady on the phone said that they are not even going to start looking at the delayed DROS applications until sometime "Middle of next week" and that "thousands of people are in the same boat as you".
Ok, this is great. I am not the only one, but if there are "thousands" of people being delayed, how come I do not see a single post on any firearm related forums about this? I would assume that out of "thousands" there would be at least a handful of people like me who would take their frustrations online?
Spoke to the LGS the other day too. They were told by DOJ that all delays are "indefinite". INDEFINITE!!! WTF?
Is this real life????
