I do hope it is as smooth as the initial application. The local field office is staffed with very nice and helpful folks. The agent assigned to me is an outdoor enthusiast and an avid hunter as well. She came to my house for the interview and training session, was absolutely delightful and very professional in all respects, and very down to earth and reasonable. They have a list of criteria they look for, and if you mind your business properly, there seems to be no hassles at all. I found out we hunt in many of the same areas. We talked about getting a group together, locals and ATF agents, and doing a group dove hunt this year. That all seems to be working up to a great relationship with them. So far, they are some of the nicest folks I have had to deal with. I got a lot more hassle from the local PD, because you also have to get permission from them to open a shop.
