My 03 FFL (C&R) expires on 1 Jan 2013, I got my paperwork from the ATF back in October and sent it in a week later. It's been over a month, which was how long it took my original 03 FFL to be processed, and nothing. I was wondering if anyone's gone through this recently and how long it took to get their renewed license?
Also, if by chance I don't get it before my current one expires, is it considered a lapsed license? I know the records required to be kept by licensed collectors under the law and regulations are not business records and are not required to be turned in to ATF when collectors' licenses are not renewed or collecting activity under such licenses is discontinued, but other than not being able to use it until I get the new one, is there any other ramifications?
I honestly haven't used it much, at first I did order a lot of C&R firearms online or bought them from out-of-state sellers which made having the license a good thing; but over the past couple of years I've either focused on other areas or bought them face-to-face locally.
