pjd832 146 Posted March 30, 2015 Wondering if it was just my bad luck or was nics rot responding to any check Saturday?.... Drove over an hr to pick up a pistol straight from a 19hr shift ..was submitted @1230... Stood around/sat in vehicle until 1600...chrcked with ffl said it still wasn't back but " should hear back Monday probably".... Drove an hr home pissed off.... So having not purchased in state for a while is this the current situation? Or is it possible the ffl screwed up the submission somehow? Hopefully I'll hear from him today and take another trip up for a 4 hr total drive time to make a purchase Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,570 Posted March 30, 2015 There is a section for NICS issues. With the NJ NICS, it could be anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr.Jimmy Rustler 23 Posted March 30, 2015 I made a purchase at 4pm and was told that other people had still been waiting since 11am that day. needless to say I went home empty handed as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully I'll hear from him today and take another trip up for a 4 hr total drive time to make a purchase For my last three purchases NICS took 30 seconds, several hours (I left the shop so not sure exactly how long), and 20-30 minutes. You never know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rysdad 5 Posted March 30, 2015 I also was "delayed" on Saturday. Steve at Monmouth called up the SP and they informed him that the person that handles the delays was off on Saturday. Monday morning would be first chance to get it looked at. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgeHM 5 Posted March 30, 2015 I got burned as well on Saturday. I went to SimonPeter's to look at a Shotgun. I forgot to ask if NCIS was taking long before I got started with my paperwork. I filled out my paperwork at 14:30 no answer back by 17:00. and as of 14:00 today still no word from them that it has cleared. I am so glad they fixed NCIS to make it better.

mipafox 438 Posted March 30, 2015 NICS has been down across the US. I got the following at 9:04MST, which is 6:04EDT. Didn't hear of any problem with PICS at the Oaks show Saturday But you don't have to worry about that with most customers anyway I would assume.
