People have been commenting on the super long delays for non-res since long before Bruen. or are you being sarcastic?
Every year has taken a little longer. On average = 4 to 5 months turn around.
The reality is that the MA FRB has a very small and limited staff. So it's not their fault. They have always been overloaded..... but, now they are being overwhelmed.
(BTW, my first submission was back when the MA State Police did the processing).
This year is setting new records (in terms of the overall wait time)
My interview will be over 6 months after they received the renewal submission.
(Again, I realize that they are doing the best that their small office can, so don't get frustrated with them).
Add the turn-around time of the usual 30 days after the interview for a typical renewed license to be received.
Then, maybe add another 30 days because of the current overload = means that this could go to 8 months.
I will likely be submitting my next year's renewal within 30 days of receiving this year's renewal.
No sarcasm, and no exaggeration.
Just letting people know how things actually are.
Start early, be patient, and prepare accordingly.
