Displaced Texan 11,653 Posted December 21, 2022 Damn. NJ IS fucking with you guys. My buddy bought a pistol yesterday, I was standing there when he filled out and submitted his electronic 4473. NICS check took less than 2 minutes to come through after they hit ‘submit’. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bomber 1,089 Posted December 22, 2022 Stupid question here: Can an FFL start the NICS application without you showing up in person if they have all your info, thus saving a second trip? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Can" and "is it legal" are not necessarily the same thing. I would say take it offline with your FFL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a stupid just stupid laws as demonstrated earlier today. I guess they all have their own approach but I think the consensus is two trips. Several years when I had an FFL that would start the NICS and then let you come in when approved and do the paper work. That’s is when it was pushed out to a few hours wait time instead of the now standard 3 – 7 day wait time. That FFL retired. I never understood why we have to fill out an application to purchase a handgun and then wait for it to be issued only to then essentially do it all over again at the point of sale, its total bullshit. Let’s see if the new law and new fees speed-up the snail paced NJ NICS system LOL Edited December 23, 2022 by M1152 typos 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
