That comment is uncalled for. Please tell me how he's being "soft".
If you had purchased a gun at the first two stores where I worked and had been delayed, you'd have had to pay a restocking fee if you had decided to cancel the sale instead of waiting for the delay to clear. No exceptions. So in that case I'd guess you'd be "soft" too.

What is the delay never cleared? You would have held his money indefinitely? Even though the law says you can release the gun in the delay doesn't change to a denial withing three days?Theohazard said:
That doesn't sound like a store I'd want to do business with.

No, both stores released a delay after 3 business days. The restocking fee was charged if we were holding a gun for a customer who was waiting on a delay and they decided to cancel the sale either because the delay was taking too long (even though we were willing to release it after 3 business days) or because the delay came back as a denial. However, both stores were willing to hold the gun free of charge while the customer either waited on a delay or challenged a denial. In the case of a denial, that sometimes ended up taking over a year.Aguila Blanca said:
The purpose of the restocking fee was to discourage people from using our store to simply test the background check system. We didn't want people who had no interest in actually buying a gun, but simply wanted to find out if they could pass a background check. In both cases I didn't agree with how high the restocking fee was, but that was the owners' call, not mine.

I went through a spell where every time I would get a further review and it would take sometimes well over an hour for them to finally come back with a proceed.
I considered getting a pin number to alleviate whatever the issue was causing the further review.
I am a bit cynical and quite the skeptic regarding whether or not they’re keeping a tally on how many firearms I purchase.
Getting a personal identification number just felt too much like I would be making that easier to do.

According to the BATFE, yes. If your state doesn't call the federal NICS line directly, I don't know. In my state, background checks are done through our state police. I have overheard the FFL at the range where I shoot suggest to customers that they obtain a UPIN, so possibly so.catzan said:

Glad you got your gun. That might be the last time you get delayed, it might be something that happens every once in a while, or it might happen every time you buy a gun from now on. If the delays continue to occur you have three options: 1) You can just live with it and know that you’ll have to wait when you buy a gun, 2) You can find a dealer who will release the firearm to you after 3 business days of being delayed, or 3) You can apply for an FBI UPIN, which will usually (though not always) help with delays that are on the federal level. However, if your delay is due to a problem with your state’s NICS point-of-contact (I don’t know how OR works), then a UPIN probably won’t be much help.
