Anyone know what the current NICS wait time is?

National Instant Check System (njportal.com)

As of 1:45 pm, they are about halfway done with checks submitted on 12/6.

There were 2,922 checks in the NJ queue this morning. Does that piss you off? How'd you like to be in Oregon? 36,000+ and counting!

NJ redefining “instant”

Damn. NJ IS fucking with you guys. 
 

My buddy bought a pistol yesterday, I was standing there when he filled out and submitted his electronic 4473. NICS check took less than 2 minutes to come through after they hit ‘submit’.

And in other news water is wet and the sky is blue.

FWIW they don't even have the backlog posted today.

I think you need to be logged in to get that information.

Stupid question here:

Can an FFL start the NICS application without you showing up in person if they have all your info, thus saving a second trip?

"Can" and "is it legal" are not necessarily the same thing. I would say take it offline with your FFL.

Not a stupid just stupid laws as demonstrated earlier today.  I guess they all have their own approach but I think the consensus is two trips. Several years when I had an FFL that would start the NICS and then let you come in when approved and do the paper work. That’s is when it was pushed out to a few hours wait time instead of the now standard 3 – 7 day wait time. That FFL retired.

I never understood why we have to fill out an application to purchase a handgun and then wait for it to be issued only to then essentially do it all over again at the point of sale, its total bullshit. Let’s see if the new law and new fees speed-up the snail paced NJ NICS system LOL

That's what I thought but I was able to capture the above screen shot yesterday. Probably just another glitch in their system, I'm only a purchaser

No, you don't. I watch it all the time. It appears some mornings they just don't post it for one reason or another.

Hadn't the Federal Government decided a few years ago that NICS, Gun Shops, etc are an essential service?
