I think there is more checks than just that.

One think I know they also do is send a copy of your application to the sheriff of your county of residence to see if he knows of any false statements you may have made or other reason you shouldn't have one. He has 30 days to respond to it. So factor in a few days ahead of time before he gets it and a few days after 30 days for them to wait and see if he has returned it...and that is some of your time.

Just thinking out loud here... What exactly do they look for whenever they do your fingerprints? Tickets? Felonies? Both?
