Now that's funny...

I got denied a couple of years ago standing there in my police uniform. I can relate to your uneasy feeling. Dang I was embarrassed. Mine was "undetermined" as well. Mine was worked out within 1 day. Give it the weekend. They are only public servants...

Wait till I post some pics of the PSL I got out in State College. Dirt cheap, they said it had been purchased by some guy who got the thumbs down.

You'll get it soon, bro, just a little more patience. I keep waiting for my turn to be sitting her complaining about the same thing.

That's a pretty tough system that won't even allow a uniformed officer to buy a gun... I can just see all the other customers in the store resignedly shaking their heads and putting their packages back on the shelves.

Anyway, I try not to think about it. It'll drive me nuts otherwise.
I try to keep myself busy.

But my god, you can only clean guns so many times!

Sounds like you should get yourself an AR-15 rifle kit to assemble in the meantime!

I wont be able to get lower tho. PICS will likely deny my purches.

But since that part was taken care of before, I just need to figure out what upper configuration I want..



I was originaly thinking of SR type gun, but then I gotcool Eastern block sniper gun(well, kinda sort of..), I think I'm just going with 20" A3 upper with may be SS barrel...

You know, something simple(read - "cheap")

I think sometimes the PICS people are lazy. My gun store has a problem with a particular PICS employee who seems to almost always put people into research, a gross amount more often than other employees.
