Do you have anything to confirm this? I can't see to find anything..

 

Not that I don't believe, just want to check for myself.

What a shocker! Not surprised they are closed on Thanksgiving, but the day after? Cmon.....

On the busiest shopping day of the year too. I guess it will be next to impossible to buy anything on saturday either due to the backlog

The retailers are going to have to make a monday 2nd chance for NJ residents gun sales only day..

 

We can call it black flagging nic's day..

and you should see the black Friday deals at Cabela's. If you are a PA resident, there are some good finds on .22's and .17's as well as muzzleloaders.

I have last years holiday schedule and they were open the day after Thanksgiving.

 

Just got off the phone with Debbie. CLOSED THURSDAY and FRIDAY. Open until 8PM on Wednesday and regular hours on Saturday.

So this is just the state NICS line then, the federal NICS line is not down on Friday?

 

You gotta love NJ, we are not going to let the feds provide the service free of charge, we are going to do it without the mandate of law, we're going to be closed on days the feds are not and oh yeah btw we are going to charge you a $15 fee for all this inconvenience we provide... Only in NJ.

Friday is the day off the state workers traded for Lincoln's birthday. So logical for the state to close NICS on the busiest shopping day of the year - I'm sure Lincoln's birthday will make up for it .

I thought NICS was the NATIONAL Instant Criminal Background Check System. It's not only NJ, it's nation-wide.

NICS stands for National Instant Criminal Background Check System (or National Instant Check System). So part of me doubts that this is JUST for NJ, I could be wrong though.

Tony,

 

Thanks for the heads up. Always appreciated.

Its part of the FBI, but some states, like NJ, it goes thru the state, which contacts the FBI, instead of the FFL contacting them directly. We do not have the option

Feds are prohibited from charging a fee or retaining a copy of an approval for more than 24 hours.

 

The State of NJ steps in, conducts the check for the feds, charges you a $15 and keeps a copy of the record indefinitely...

 

Oh yeah and there was never a state law passed to authorize them to do so. So much for the purpose and intent of 2C:58-3(f) I guess.

He tried but was overruled.

nics is open 7 days a week. But all year round NJ won't prossess thu them on sunday hence you can't buy or pick up a gun on sunday in NJ. We should be greatful they dont say "due to the slumping ecconomy in NJ the office that handles nics will only be open between 3:00 and 4:00 am on the 4th monday of months that start with a J" Don't ya just luv Constitution protecting law makers we got us here.
