millsan1 3 Posted December 17, 2012 From HG, when I asked if my NICS had come back yet: "Are you waiting from today or SATURDAY?" (My emphasis) They have no calls back from today's requests yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ruger9 0 Posted December 17, 2012 ban guns? No ban NICS? sure, then no guns huh... never thought of that. No NICS, no gun purchases. Interesting (and scary). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xchange1980 0 Posted December 17, 2012 Why does NJ have to use its own NICS and not the one the rest of the country uses that takes under 1 minute Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ruger9 0 Posted December 18, 2012 Damn... it's like a race to the finish... "how fast can we pass emergency gun control" vs "omg buy your guns NOW"... DENVER (CBS4) – The day after the shooting in Connecticut a lot of people in Colorado tried to buy a gun. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation says it received 4,154 requests for background checks from potential buyers on Saturday. That was so many the CBI couldn’t process them all and the backlog grew to nearly 18 hours. The Unit could only process 3,001 checks on Saturday. Extra staff was brought in over the weekend and workers are still trying to clear the backlog. http://denver.cbslocal.com/2012/12/17/cbi-deals-with-massive-influx-of-potential-gun-buyers/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M1152 713 Posted December 18, 2012 I have an Off topic NICS question. Is it true that in other states the FFL vendors call in the NICS directly whereas in NJ you guys have to use the state police as a middle man? One of the vendors I used previously had mentioedn that, just wondering if I heard that correctly TIA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M1152 713 Posted December 18, 2012 ANSWER Thank you Sir! looking over on THR and several similar topics there.. there is one thread called Looks like the panic buying has already started post #55 put it best because I too was looking for some 5.56, he says "looks like 223/5.56 is as scarce as hens teeth" never heard it put that way, but he is correct Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
