JohnnyB 4,321 Posted April 23, 2021 Same experience here. I have an HK VP9 in jail right now and it will likely stay there until the end of next week! NJ sucks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Matrix 105 Posted April 23, 2021 my friend just got a rifle. It took 7 days. I was like damn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malice4you 627 Posted April 24, 2021 I mean, it sucks, thats still only half to a third as bad as back in 2013. I think one of my pistols took 12-14 days, and that was *fast* for when I submitted. Pretty sure 20+ days was not unheard of back in those dark days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted April 24, 2021 Isn't it supposed to be that if they can't get the check done in three days, they have to process the transaction without it? I believe that's federal law, but I guess it doesn't pertain in NJ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that's federal law, but I guess it doesn't pertain in NJ? Since Murphy gun law package, No NJ FFL is allowed to transfer any weapon without the STN the state provides after they complete a NICS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
45Doll 5,873 Posted April 24, 2021 The underlying 'problem' is that We the People Servants of NJ are still buying firearms like mad. And it got worse after the recent shooting and police incidents. Last week the wait queue jumped back up to over 5,000. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voyager9 3,433 Posted April 24, 2021 I joined the queue on the 16th. Supposedly the state cleared that backlog on Thursday. Haven’t heard from my FFL yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
