My dad got his GFL in something like 6 weeks or less. I guess they follow the law down there in Valdosta.
It ain't too shabby but I can't find the type of work I want down there; that and there's no good place to go shooting unless you own enough land.
Take Saint Augustine Road (133 I think) west over the interstate, and there is a shooting club near the river just over the county line. They do IPSC and other type matches there.
