Both my NFA items took right around 90 days, but that was 2-3 years ago.

My CCH took right around 60 days and was far more intrusive than sending my forms to the BATFE. My initial thought after submitting myself to the rigors of the CCH, was that once my CCH was approved I ought to be able to walk in any gun store, purchase any weapon or device I want and I should be able to leave with it in my procession without a waiting period, a NCIS Check or the BATFE approval.

The state took 59 days and 23.5 hours longer than NCIS, they did what the BATFE in 30 days less time, and they did a far more thorough examination of me than either. And they have my ugly mug shot and all 10 digits on file which neither the BATFE or NCIS had done.

To a large degree portions of the BATFE bureaucracy are there for no other reason than to bottleneck the process, control distribution, to curtail sales and to harass and abuse law abiding US Citizens.

And time and time again people die from their skullduggery over things like the definition of a short barreled shot gun. They are more worried about a person selling 2 of those than the 1000's the real traffickers are peddling.

It is absolute insanity.

That may be a bit off topic, but what I am getting at is when we are talking about John Q. Public and Public Safty there are far more efficient means to get the job done and they are in place at the State level.
