An application for a firearm card (FQ) is considered abandoned if which occurs?

• A. If deficiencies are not addressed within six months.
• B. If deficiencies are not addressed within one year after notice.
• C. If deficiencies are not addressed within two years.
• D. If notified of deficiencies you have within one year to complete or the application will be considered abandoned.

Answer: (D)

When an FQ application has deficiencies, you must address them within a set window after you’re notified. If you don’t complete those corrections within one year of that notice, the application is abandoned. The statement that explicitly ties the one-year deadline to the consequence—abandonment if you don’t complete within that year—best captures this rule. The other options use incorrect timeframes or, in one case, state the deadline without explicitly stating the abandonment consequence, which is why they aren’t correct.
