timkel Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) I mailed several FOIA back in May 2015. I received this letter yesterday after 4+ years. Should I start getting excited yet? Edited October 27, 2019 by timkel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Wow! Maybe I'll see one of mine someday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHollow Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I sent in two as yet unanswered FOIA requests on July 2014 and June 2015. I did ot get any response at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hammer Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Dan don't know why you would not hear anything by now. I've done a couple of them and have received timely responses on both occasions. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timkel Posted October 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Dan don't know why you would not hear anything by now. I've done a couple of them and have received timely responses on both occasions. MikeI actually sent in the same group of FOIA requests twice, about a year apart. So I don't know if they are referring to the first or second group as now being in the system. I long ago gave up expecting a reply. It's interesting to see my government at work.

huggytree Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Ive sent requests for all of my guns that have a history. Ive gotten them back in 6-12 months on the first few. The last 3 ive gotten nothing other than the letter saying they have the request. I wonder if they even do it anymore ? Its been 1.5-2 years on them now Edited October 28, 2019 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Henley Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 There was another post where a Board member said he new someone at BATF who said that timely processing transfers (and FOIA would fall into same category) was not a priority or concern for the current administration. Kind of like bans on bump stocks, POTUS doesn't like silencers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hammer Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 That letter you received is normally sent within weeks of them receiving your request. I can't begin to speculate on why it would take 4 years for them to send it if it was sent to the correct address. On the plus side, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that you will get your report since at least they have acknowledged receiving it.
