chumo00 0 Posted January 30, 2013 I had my nics faxed over by the gun shop last wed and no response 7 days later. Anyone else have delays this long? I have permits and everything ready to go. This new system makes no sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeteF 1,044 Posted January 30, 2013 So I guess that whole "Instant" thing has fallen by the wayside just like the "30 Days". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted January 30, 2013 This is not a "new" NICS - it is just the old one that is broken down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chumo00 0 Posted January 31, 2013 You think I should ask dealer to resend? This seems like it never went through. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny 0 Posted January 31, 2013 Are the people doing these checks at all involved with the intial FID application process? I am trying to understand why it went from 10 or 15 minutes to 3-5 or even up to 10 days. I realize there have been a record amount of purchases lately. But where there really so many more that it would have such a drastic effect? It seems like the amount of time it takes for the checks to be done has increased exponentially.

No, NICS, by federal law, is to be used exclusively for firearms checks (which really FUBAR's the NY SAFE act that calls for background checks on ammo purchasers). And yes, sales have increased exponentially, ergo, so have NICS checks - and since ours ia a POC state, there is limited manpower to throw at the problem. So once again, it's the peons that suffer. Could be worse - we could be out of ammo and live in NY. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danshots 0 Posted January 31, 2013 Purchased a pistol 2 weeks ago. They told me NICS was backed up 48-72 hours. Took 7 days. I have heard from ShoreShot that the State Police were misplacing people's paperwork (very few people, but it's happening). If it has been 7 days already, I would call you FFL and ask them to look into it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brotherdime 0 Posted January 31, 2013 Purchased Monday night got the call Tuesday afternoon to come and pick it up. Less than 24 hours. I guess i got lucky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melgamatic 66 Posted January 31, 2013 At this point, what guns are being sold at this rate? All the "desirable" or "soon to be banned" guns are off the shelves. The volume of sales at this point can't be so much heavier than normal, can it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaiser7 33 Posted January 31, 2013 I kept telling my mom to buy stock in gun companies. She kept refusing. I'm surprised they're "Misplacing" records this frequently. I wonder if they're trying to slow down purchase rates. Either that, or people should start calling politicians to complain about this. Might help them realize how stupid our system is.

Boejoula 0 Posted January 31, 2013 Any eta on the pistol purchase permits? I did my paperwork 2 weeks ago, lady in record told me today it would be a few months!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9X19 125 Posted January 31, 2013 You think I should ask dealer to resend? This seems like it never went through. Yes the dealer has a number to call and check before re-faxing. They probably never received it. Running 48 hours for call backs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve_G 51 Posted January 31, 2013 Any eta on the pistol purchase permits? I did my paperwork 2 weeks ago, lady in record told me today it would be a few months!? Thats town by town. Some get it done in less than 30 days. Some take over a year. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boejoula 0 Posted January 31, 2013 That's what I thought but they said they have to send it out and I had to put down 2 references again. Last time it took a month. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
