So much for "instant"

I just went to the gun shop tonight to finally pick up my used mini. I've had my name on it for two weeks now while it was getting a bath. I filled out the paperwork, the guy calls NICS to make sure I'm still a good boy, and the system is busy. Fine. Go out for a fine curry dinner, come back in an hour and it's STILL busy. Finally left home empty handed.

Ugh. Maybe tomorrow.

That stinks. Hope it clears up soon. Does your state allow for the sale to be completed if the background check is not returned within a specific period of time, like three working days?
 
Know the feeling. The FFL I use is a relative who lives over a hour away. He often comes less then 5 miles from my home and stops in. BUT when I buy a gun to have sent to FFL he can't take my old info and send it. He can't call from MY house. "to NICS" He can't bring the gun to me. "If I would stop by ahead of time and fill out forms. So I drive over a hour, fill out the forms, he makes the call and if busy or whatever I must go back another day. He follows rules to the letter and is very picky but still got warning of big fines for super minor mistakes. "one guy put todays date as his birthdate." He lived less then 5 miles from the shop so he came right over to prove he was over 23hrs old and legal to buy a shotgun. "Yes hours" "He was born the same day he bought a gun" I remember when that was possible. A parent could buy a gun for the kids real BIRTHDAY.
 
Hey Guys,
Don't you know that as far as the government is concerned, 72 hours is an instant!!!!

------------------
Just as there is no such thing as too much fun,
there is no such thing as owning just one gun!!!

Off my meds (quit smoking), armed to the teeth, and loose on an unsuspecting society!!!
 
I had one store say they didnt care about the 3 day commi er I mean Brady bill. They told me if the feds didn't get back to them NO SALE.

Funny - in a sick way. Regular coffee takes only a few minutes to make. Instant coffee is faster.

How is it that the new & improved instant checks are taking longer than the old kind?

A bud's got a gun shop. Sometimes it takes CBI (CO) over an hour to get back to him re "the answer." He's got to be on-line for the full time as they won't do a call-back.
He's only got the one line so how many firearms do you think he can sell in a day if CBI sits on the approvals? Not as many.
And, his business line i stied up for the duration.

And busy signals?

It's BS pure & simple & another way to make it more inconvient to buy firearms.

NE has a 3yr card/prior background check. Show card - get gun. (As related to me from an NE friend) & even still .... urk!
 
Y'all need to move down here to TX, where all you gotta do is show Mr. FFL your concealed handgun license, and the sale is made- no check (except for the one you use to pay for it)! :D

Only in America, we're slaves to be free/Only in America, we kill the unborn, to make ends meet/Only in America, sexuality is democracy/Only in America, we stamp our god "In God we trust"

What is right or wrong?
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song, in America

If it isna Scottish, it's CRAP! RKBA!
