Such BS this pardon program, why don't they take their guns away if these people can't be responsible enough to keep them registered. Oh, I know... It's a easy grab for cash that they wouldn't otherwise get from all these overly lazy folks who cant seem to be bothered to register each year. This country is soooo f*^%cked up on certain things.
They should at least put in the system that they were delinquent and the next time take the weapon away. What's the point of giving a grace period every year?.. Cash for the Gov but it REALLY only says HEY THERE ARMED PEOPLE, you only need to renew every 3 or 4 years and you can save you money.
OK, rant over....
But a heads up to anyone going in for a renewal during Sept. IT'S A MESS with literally hundreds of people taking advantage of the PARDON PERIOD. I experienced this last year, the process usually takes no more than 30/40 minutes but I found myself there for 4 hours, NO JOKE!.. I politely asked why there was no express line for standard renewal's and expressed that it was wrong for legal gun owners who pay annually & and are in for a simple yearly renewal to have to stand behind hundreds of delinquents vying for a new license because they were too lazy and it wasn't enforced to have a valid permit.
The great staff in there (and I mean that) had the same response to my question about having a express lane, they just politely shrugged and said "we understand" but "too bad".
Take a book if you're going to renew in September..
