remixer 1,645 Posted March 1, 2013 Its not getting better... You might get the occasional lucky 3 day approval but that not the norm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little Red Rooster 0 Posted March 1, 2013 My NICS went in Saturday morning and I still have not heard anything... Aaaaaaaannddd they must be monitoring this website (and my impatience). Just got word from Bullseye Tactical that my NICS just came back. Good to go. Picking up my Vaquero in the morning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kahout 0 Posted March 1, 2013 My NICs went in 2/12. It was reported to have been misplaced by the State, then faxed again and still waiting. Unacceptable in my opinion! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El-Groucho 0 Posted March 1, 2013 Just put in this afternoon. The wait is on. The state is dragging it's ass, especially now that they won't accept the NICS as a call, just fax. The # per day is back to pre-December levels so the wait shouldn't be like this anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redwings9 5 Posted March 1, 2013 Last week bought a shotgun in NJ and the check via fax took six days, two days ago bought a long gun in Pa and the Pics and Nics took all of five minutes. NJ does this because then can do this....... and get away with it. Mandatory waiting period without really enacting a mandatory waiting period......

PK90 3,573 Posted March 4, 2013 UPDATE: I faxed in 3 on Monday the 25th of February and got the approvals the morning of Monday the 4th of March. Going by the approval numbers, they were done in the morning on Saturday the 2nd of March. ETA: Monday the 4th of March at 12:30PM, I got 8 approvals for last Tuesday the 26th of February's checks. They paid OT for some employees to come in on Sunday the 3rd of March to do some of the checks. ETA: Monday the 4th of March at 1:49PM, I got 6 more approvals for last Wednesday the 27th of February's checks. They were done this morning the 4th of March.

kahout 0 Posted March 5, 2013 All this BS about needing tougher laws since it is too easy to walk into a NJ store and walk away with a (hand)gun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
when_shtf 4 Posted March 5, 2013 I've been waiting for a week for a handgun NICS. Why pass a law requiring a waiting period when you can just throw an anchor out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dslar 0 Posted March 6, 2013 My nics just went in on Thursday 2/28 and still no word. I was told 4 days originally, but that's past. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustang69 505 Posted March 6, 2013 Mine was faxed Tuesday 2/26. Wasn't back as of 5:00 on Monday, 3/4... Got the call today, so it took 6 days. I bought in October 2012 - took 10 minutes. In November, took 2 days. December was 3 days. January was 4 days, February/March was 6 days. I see a trend here... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
