NICS is behind at least 1 to 2 days

[Spawne32 37]

NICS came back last night, they contacted me this morning for pickup. So went from last Thursday to this Wed. for approval.

[Ryu 21]

Does NICS run on weekends?  I have two pending beginning yesterday from two different dealers.  

[Rickap7 10]

I got my call today and picked up my new Sig P320x Compact FINALLY!

If you have a Pending/Delayed on Friday, and you're not Denied by Wednesday, you may pick up on Thursday. Of course, that would be the dealer's choice. You may also get approved before then.

[RobCo 16]

I just put in a NICS check today, the guys at Middlebrook told me 2-3 days. That's Murphys NJ for ya

[Pizza Bob 1,483]

Just got notified (3:30PM / 6-23) that my NICS came back. It was put in on Saturday 6-20.

[PK90 3,547]

National NICS went down today for an hour. I had to run 7 in a row when it came back up. Took about 10 minutes total to get 7 approvals. LOL

Does anyone know how backed up the current nics times are? Have a permit coming up to expire just want to make sure I don't wait too long before buying as I'm still unsure what I'm getting.

Last public update was on Weds, at that time they were still working on Saturday.

I wonder how many are new gun owners for NJ.

[JT Custom Guns 954]

I would guess - 1000's

So many new owners buying Home Defense weapons. Liberals are even seeing the light in terms of owning a gun. When there are 2000 + NICS checks in the que in one day, you gotta believe at least half are new owners. That's why all the guns are out of stock..................

I have a permit.... I can't find a gun I want so it's a mute point. If I order it, it might not be here till the permit expires. Would be nice if we could pay it forward.

If a NICS check was submitted prior to my permit expiration, and the FIU in Trenton didn't deliver the approval until after the expiration date (especially if it was five to seven days!), I would call the FIU and tell them I'm exercising the permit past the due date because the delay was their responsibility. I was ready and they weren't.

I stopped by Cheyenne yesterday while running around.  Both long gun and pistol stock was way down.  Any chance you've got a Walther PPK stainless in .380?  I've got a permit in hand.

[Heavyopp 167]

Are we still 4 days behind?

I was told 3 days on Friday afternoon. No call yet.

My friend was told 5 days last Wednesday so who knows.

Waited 5.5 months for my 1st fid and 2 p2p's. Got them last Wednesday. So hard to find guns locally. I googled my ass off for 24 hours straight and constantly emailing out of state dealers. Got my 1st sig p229 elite dark delivered at dealer Saturday at noon .was told not to come in till 3pm due to overcrowding in-store. Filed nics paper and my jaw dropped when I found out it was not instant. I told my baby I would not leave her stranded. There was 1584 in que Saturday and they were working on Wednesday work. By close of business Saturday they started Thursday. Sunday they were still on Thursday w 1600 in que. Woke up Monday their still on Thursday with 1617 in que. Now waiting to see what Tuesday says .hoping Tuesday by end of day says working on Saturday. That is me wishing. More like working on Saturdays Wednesday and since .one was 330pm Saturday I will get a call Thursday.

After reading on another forum. I had no clue the njsp nics was different background check than the initial njsp background check that happened right after fingerprints. That would suck to be approved for p2p and fid and spend 1200 bucks to have come this far to get denied from njsp nics. From all my hours of reading. Trust me, 100s of hours. How would the njsp nics show anything that would get me denied that the initial njsp background check didn't show ???

What really Yanks my chain. Is I paid for an expungement prior to covid and got a letter from njsp i have a clean slate but local PD still saw all of it. They said perhaps they didn't get to it due to covid but I still past the sniff test. Nothing on my record was ever charged all dismissed.

 

Good luck to all

Perhaps the delay is because NJ firearm applications are up more than 250% this year.
