Maybe your town PD has different rules, but in my case it was by mail, not by phone. In fact, I was the one who wrote addresses on the PD envelopes on my appointment when I brought in the papers. I contatced my references to make sure they folow-up, and they did. As for the fingerprinting, it is all "automatic", no need to follow-up on this. The whole process, from application to getting the papers took about three months. As I can see from the papers, the FID was ready in one month, but permits apparently took much longer. I guess the officer in charge didn't want to make extra appointment just to give me FID and another one for permits. No problem with that.

Take a look at the Stack-On, like this: http://www.stack-on.com/categories/security-safes--2/products/54 Can be bolted to the floor/furniture from inside.

I was in a similar situation just a few weeks ago. M&P 9mm was one of my top choices (I had a few in mind). They had only .40 in store, but offered to order 9mm. They never called back, I shopped around and eventually came upon Baby Desert Eagle, in the same store I've started from. Also on my top choice list, so I was happy to get it. As for M&P 9 - they said they couldn't get it. Price - these days you pay whatever they ask, may be above MSRP.
