Didn't the GFL applicant have to get fingerprinted and the background check done? I got my Georgia GFL in 2004, it took 3 months and it expires in 2009. This will be my first renewal, so maybe its quick after the first time. Mainly concerned for my wife who also will get hers renewed for the first time.
I am qualified under HR 218 (retired LEO), so don't really need the state GFL.....I get it anyway in case someone overturns the Federal law 926C.
