Does anyone have any suggestions on who I can call and complain to about the so called "instant check" being down for the last 2 days? I have been unable to purchase a Para-Ordnance P14-45 Limited due to the system being down. I have contacted my State Senators Rick Santorum and Arlen" NOT PROVEN" Spector but I was thinking that there was someone else I could contact. Thanks in advance

Welcome to The Firing Line, gjviii! 
You can complain to your Senators, your Representatives, the FBI, the ATF, your state police, just about anyone you want. Unfortunately, this infringement is all too common. I doubt that complaining will help anything. So much for "A right delayed is a right denied."
The bright side to this is that if your dealer doesn't get an answer within 3 days, you get your P14-45 LDA with no further delay.
YMMV from state to state.

According to Alan Korwin http://www.gunlaws.com , the system was down a full eight days last year.
Do you think that if some sort of South-Central LA unrest happens again that a do-gooder FBI bureaucrat might shut down the system so as to "not add to the blood-letting"?

It was working yesterday
I was bad and bought a rifle (it was calling to me really). Normally I get put on delay and I pick up the gun a few days later. Yesterday my dealer & I had our usual chuckle about my being a terrorist and being on delay. About 5 min after I left the shop my cell phone rang and there was a shocked voice on the other end telling me to come back and pick it up. Should have bought a lottery ticket too.

I am going to be calling again today to see if it is up and running. The gun shop owner was told by a State Rep that the files were being updated. I haven't bought a gun since the law was passed so I was ready to show my CCW permit and take it home. I think I'll call again and get more information. I wonder if they can shut it down state by state
Thanks for the info
