So after calling and emailing the MA FRB I FINALLY got a response. Turns out my home state of NJ isn’t returning their calls to complete my background check. They’ve apparently been trying for over 2 months

. Now usually I’d be inclined to believe this excuse as NJ is indeed an extremely incompetent state at every level. However, I’ve managed to acquire 6 CCW (including in anti-gun states) and haven’t had this problem. This is especially annoying since it appears regular turnaround times are occurring
sub-60.
Anywho, at least the issue has been pinpointed. Now to bother NJSP to answer their emails.
