Do you currently have non restricted or no license?

No license - new application

Unfortunately there is a very high chance that you will not receive your license before October which is when we believe the government will attempt to stop handgun sales, but there is always a chance that it could be completed quickly once they look at it. You may be able to buy handguns for a short time if your lucky.

Fingers crossed :)

Really wish I didn’t lose the tracking number - wonder if makes sense to submit another application or will that just mess it up more if there are two?
