Fortunately I avoid the waiting period with my CWL and I've never gotten a "Decision Pending", maybe an uncommon last name has helped with that.

A class action lawsuit was filed against the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) by gun advocates, saying potential gun owners are being left in limbo as it relates to a waiting period to purchase a gun.
In Florida, there is a three day waiting period when purchasing a gun, in order to allow authorities time to conduct a background check on the would-be gun owner. Lately, owners of stores like The Arms Room say they are seeing more customers having to wait longer than the three days.
"Somehow FDLE has gotten the idea that that three-day background requirement no longer applies to them, and that they can just ignore it and ignore it indefinitely with no time limit," said Florida Carry's attorney, Eric Friday. Florida Carry says a "Decision Pending" status started affecting more customers after the passage of the Parkland bill in 2018.
