My transfer business has tripled since several dealers around me have stopped transfers altogether. I can only assume that they were overwhelmed by the volume, fed up with newbees, or afraid of the covid. Maybe all of the above. So, I have hired one full time employee and two part timers to take care of the extra work.

The NJ State is the cause of your delays. The Federal system is not behind. Not sure about PICS.

Perhaps a crystal ball, a kaleidoscope, a view master, or an etch-a-sketch?

Just light the cocktail at a standstill then shoot it. Time the event. Divide the time into the speed at which it can be hurled.

Please post a link to your findings.

You can be denied a firearm purchase for any reason the dealer wants, and he doesn't have to disclose the reason. https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-06-17/dealers-choice-gun-store-owners-can-deny-anyone-they-want https://www.quora.com/In-the-US-if-a-gun-shop-owner-believes-that-a-certain-customer-should-not-be-allowed-to-obtain-a-weapon-even-if-their-background-check-comes-back-clean-are-they-legally-allowed-to-refuse-the-sale

So did the 115.

He can just tell you that you were denied.

I vote #2 first, then #1. Report him.

I've sold a few thousand Anderson Lowers. Despite a cosmetic flaw in one, no one has returned one, nor mentioned any, out of spec.

Who also is MIA

At least I have my freedom. For now.

Who are you?

Oops. Time to edit that thread.

Aren't you guys knife collectors? There's your "explainable lawful purpose". Switchblade are then also legal to own. Make up some business cards on your computer stating that that is your hobby, "Joe Blow's Exotic Cutlery". Keep them in your wallet, car, and with every knife you own.

There is no price gouging for nonessential products. It's called supply and demand.

No legal problems, but a call from The Popo will make your sphincter pucker. Just act dumb if you get a phone call.

IMHO, the responsiblity falls upon the purchaser. The dealer has no way of knowing what or when the customer bought prior.

Your first dealer did it wrong. The date of the transfer was the date you took it home, which goes on the permit. AFAIK, the NJ FIU counts the 30 days from the first submitted permit copy til the new NICS check. Your second NICS should've been denied.

HIDE YOUR DOG

Doesn't it say somewhere on the application that you have submitted for state and local approvals, or will do so within a certain period?

No need to physically have that NJ license. They already approved you. No reason you can't start the Fed App now.
