Ya I heard the results are begin sent out super fast so my plan is to wait 20 days, if I receive the results early send everything together and if I dont receive anything then send in my application after 20 days so by the time rcmp receives my registered mail I should get my results and when I fax it in... 28 days approx will have elapsed.
Ruger is a good gun the only reason I'm thinking of the M&p sports II is because it's cheap $300ish for the .22 rimfire or $600ish for the 5.56 nato and since it's an AR platform u can easily and cheaply mod it down the line. Also looking into a revolver, a glock or S&W semi auto and the Mossberg® MVP LC Light-Chassis Bolt-Action Rifle...so $$ is definitely an issue for me since all those with the case and starter accessories will cause a pretty penny
