Well, I called July 23, 2013 and guess what I was told? My background check is still processing. I would think that a nice lawsuit from all of us waiting would speed things up. I feel that my right to own a gun is being infringed upon.

The nice lady on the other end did say that I should call back weekly to check on it.
FYI, I have never been in a mental institution, Did a conditional discharge on a phone harassment charge 12 years ago (called ex an A-hole over the phone. Who knew it was a crime in Illinois?) and had battery charges dismissed 5 years ago for slapping my then 16 year old daughter for calling me a f-ing B***. No other "crimes" and no other reason to block issuance. And if stating a fact on the phone and using corporal punishment on a crazy teenager is something to prevent issuance, then I'm moving to Texas.
