Hardly any more drama than renewing your firearms license.

My safe was $100, bolting it, and my pistol ammo safe to wall and floor considerably more than 20 minutes, the interview considerably longer than ten.
To be fair, I'd suffered a bereavement not long before, so the AO was probably just being careful in making his assessment.

To add to that: Was it worth it? yes. I have learned a great deal from pistol shooting. I'm glad I did it.
