Just got my new firearms license in the mail with the .0002 at the end of it with restricted conditions attached to it. if I had already ordered handguns online with the old license (.0001) would those transfers still go through? would there be a delay for processing my new handguns? is my old rpal still considered valid? Thanks!

TIL that's what the .0002 means at the end of the PAL#. Thanks!

The ".0002" just is a serialized number that increments each time they print you a new card. When you buy your first restricted and they print a new card with the Transportation Condition, it will go up. When you renew and they print you a new card, it will go up.
