šŸ¤¦ is this your first restricted? They just approved my first for me on the May 18th so they should have it on file one would thinkā€¦ the email I used which got me a response in a day was sfpinfo@gov.sk.ca so give that a try if itā€™s different than you used. They also emailed me the approval, but again that was before June. No idea why they would switch to mailing a billion things instead of a simple emailā€¦ I thought it was awesome having our own Sask cfo but they seem to be unnecessarily making things more difficultā€¦ bc and Ab have seen transfers from as late as June 4th alreadyā€¦

I am starting to wish our CFO was as good as BC/Ab. I really donā€™t understand though what the point is. Iā€™ve been hearing time and time again itā€™s an email, until today?

Yeah this is my first restricted! I decided to buy before they make it impossible to buy. I always intended on buying someday but the freeze made my one day a little bit sooner lol.

On another note: what did you buy in may? What are you waiting on now? Just out of curiosity

I got the sig because it just looks and feels fucking awesome in the hand, wanted a 22, a big fuck off revolver and an ā€œit just works goodā€ Glock
