Kel-Tec called us when they had another inquiry from Canada, to ask how we made out with the licenses. It's one thing getting Kel-Tec getting to talk to you, it's another thing to get the US Govt to license the product. It's a third thing to correctly license the product, and I can say the US Dept of State is publicly hot on the heels of incorrectly licensed product (ie, the actual description doesn't equal the description on the approved export license). In the third case, it's a dangerous game that risks product seizure + criminal sanction, massive fines, and potential jail time (for the US Exporter in particular), none of which we are prepared to chance.
About this time last year we told customers who we can license the product for, that we were holding off further license applications due to the distinct possibility of their approved $250 license expiring before the product was available, a situation which would have proven correct by now, licenses being good for 12 months only.
Nice guns and I hope we eventually sell them, but I'd take anyones suggestion that they'll have them in short order with a grain of salt. I wish I could say otherwise, but we've been doing this for a while, and are aware of the painful truth called reality.
When the RFB does come out, they have a three year wait list Stateside to work through.
Just saying.
Cheers,
DT
