So the shop called me. They needed a copy of my FID to send down to NICS. They had something wrong in their system in regards to my SBI #. All is fixed and I've been approved. So this was an individual problem, not an overall NICS delay. I can pick it up tomorrow.

Lesson learned!

Not what I wanted to hear. But thanks.

So I have another handgun waiting for me there. I didn't fill out an exemption since the whole OGAM law was news to me when I got my new permits. Anyway, I'll be waiting the 30 days to pick that one up. Anyone know when the clock starts ticking on that? Is it the day the NICS check is started or the day it's approved? It would suck it this is just tacking on extra days to my wait.

Thanks for the info. This helps me feel a little better about the wait. However, I did give my SSN. My SBI is 7 characters, 6 #s then 1 letter. Issued January 1999. What are the more recent ones? How have subsequent checks gone for you since?

She isn't a gun enthusiasts really, this would be her first to get her into it. No FID or anything, so she can't be the owner yet. If she gets into it, we could get her all the right docs and do a transfer.

They didn't say. All I know is the guy at the shop said it was delayed due to that and asked me to confirm my number. I did and it checked out on his end and what he put into the system (and my P2P). It's not my first purchase, but it is my first in a long time (since 1999) . So I don't know what could be going on... We'll see...

Yeah, perfect sense! Too bad it's a transfer and I paid for that exact one already... Maybe I'll take my wife there every so often to visit it.

We'll, I called the shop and they're still waiting. Says delayed due to some discrepancy with my SBI number. Could be days. So much for this being an Xmas gift for my wife.

Why are there humans at NICS anyway? Can't a computer scan the documents and spit out a yes/no in seconds?

I didn't think about this until after I was already there. I'm going to try it in the future and wait for the to call me. Heading back later today to see if the approval came in. Sorry to hear that other had trouble, but misery loves company

I waited 1.5 hours (2-330) and had to leave with no approval to get home to my 2 sick kids. Not sure when I'll have a chance to make it back over with all the holidays. Anyone else have a long wait today?

Here is the instruction form for Montville Township. It's very straightforward, no extra forms required. The person I dealt with was as nice as you can expect from a public employee. I applied on 10/17/14 and go the permits on 11/20/14. Kevin Montville PD P2P.pdf

Anyone? Bueller?

I just got 3 permits and I'm moving as well, but staying in the same town. Do I have to worry about this as well? Also, is it possible to get a PO Box put on my FID so that I don't have to worry about address changes in the future? Thanks.

I wouldn't be so sure they were busting your chops. I just got a second set of pistol permits, my first was in 1999, and the two references I sent in never got any paperwork and I still got my permits. This also happened to one of my references when he applied last year through a different town. It seems like it's up to the town whether or not they want to follow through with references. Anyway, I'm in Montville Township and it took ~34 days to get my permits.
