H2oVento 64 Posted October 9, 2022 How long is everyone waiting. Stopped in to check today. Filled out last Sunday and still 5 people in front of me. A week really. NJ is so messed up and hates us gun ownrrs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bennj 215 Posted October 9, 2022 Not trying to be snarky, but it's a huge deal. National INSTANT Criminal background check should take 10-15 minutes tops, just like it used to be before people realized the need for self protection due to the rampant violence that was permitted (and often encouraged) across the country. Since the pandemic has abated (or never truly existed) maybe the NIC delays are due to the influx of carry permit applications that are sitting ignored by some PDs and many courts? And let's not mention the double 2 hr.+ round trips to the gun shop. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Displaced Texan 11,654 Posted October 9, 2022 While I now live in Texas, I bought a pistol last week. NICS check took 5 mins. NJ is playing (stupid) games. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mustang69 503 Posted October 9, 2022 NJ is simply playing games, deliberately taking longer than needed. I live in NH. When I buy a handgun, the shop calls it into the state and stays on hold until they provide an answer. It's rarely more than a couple minutes. NH uses the same process as NJ, where you call into the state and the state then uses the Fed database along with checking whatever they do at the state level. It used to take a day or so but the NH legislature told the NHSP to get their act together or they'd be taken out of the process entirely. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eyeinstine 241 Posted October 10, 2022 Once the PTC lawsuits settle down, there really needs to be an effort (lawsuit!) over this insane NICS delay.. No doubt its fully intentional, and sadly people are slowing becoming accustomed and accepting of a 5-7 wait.. Just plain old wrong... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That ain't gonna happen. The reason I asked that question is that CHL holders in Texas get to bypass NICS. Didn’t know if it worked the same way in NJ now that you CAN get a CHL. Shoulda figured NJ would still be fucking gun owners. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
