Last month, I sent in my packet to purchase an M1 rifle from the CMP. www.odcmp.com . I called the CMP this morning to check on my status - my NICS background check had not returned. After I called NICS, they could only tell me "still processing" & can not legally give any more information. Called CMP back and they said they will call NICS occasionally to check status of checks not yet returned.
Technically after 3 days if an FFL does not hear from NICS, the transaction can take place. BUT, CMP is not a "normal" FFL and they will not send a rifle without approval from NICS. I had made a purchase from a local FFL in January, and it was approved within an hour. CMP send NICS the info over three weeks ago. I have never been in trouble.
Well, NICS told me I could get my FBI file for $18 and a set of fingerprints mailed to the FBI. OR wait a while and "maybee it will process through".
So there are 3 things that can happen to your check:
1. Approval
2. Denial
3. Permanant Limbo
Well, something sounds fishy to me. Perhaps I was too hard on my Senator for being a traitor. Or called my congressman too many times about gun legislation. Or purchased too many guns in my lifetime. Or I am a member of TFL. Or I am an NRA member. (getting paranoid)...
Anyone else have any problems? Remember, big bro is watching (the wrong people)...
