delay

If you have any items you may have dealt with in the past, could have followed you ie:
- bench warrants
- prosecutions
- outstanding traffic violations
- Domestic disturbance/abuse filings.

there is nothing you can do at this point but wait.

I have been told by SEVERAL dealers that first time buyers are automatically delayed. We have quite a few dealers on here that might comment when they see this post.

Don't worry about it, if you have a clean record the gun will be sold to you with no further problems. Being delayed isn't a big deal.

When you start buying guns too often then you get delayed again, but it still isn't a big deal.
 
I'll confirm about buying guns too often. I had never been delayed until I started a series of purchases, one every month or so. Now the NICS delays me everytime - and clears me every time.
