A friend of mine just had to wait 11 days to pick up his 1911.

 

I'm limiting myself to private sales and out of state sales until this BS dies down. There is no way i'm paying for a gun then waiting 2 weeks to get it becuase of the state. They can kiss my butt.

 

I feel bad for the in state merchants this hurts, but thats just how it is.

i put mine in march 18 still no word. i hate to do it and dont know if i can but i think im gonna cancel the sale i just found the same gun in classifieds used for a lot less.

Chances are the NICS check was lost. If you don't plan on going thru with the sale, you probably will forfeit your NICS fee and any other transfer fee if you paid up front. If you haven't paid the NICS check and do not intend to pay it, you probably don't want to show up at the FFL anymore. I would advise at least informing the FFL that you no longer want the item so they can free it up for another buyer and making the FFL whole with the FFL fees if it was not paid already. Just keep in mind, the minute the fax went thru, the FFL paid your NICS check whether it was lost or not.

You should hear back today. 10 days seems to be the current number due to the holiday.

BINGO - approval on day 10

Day 7 today. I hate this miserable state!

FID and permits just came in today. Now I can buy something and wait two weeks like everyone else. :wild:

I feel like I am part of the club now.

Saw Mark Kelley on Mike Wallace touting how his instant background check in AZ only took a little over 5 minutes. Why so long here?

Atlantic tactical sent in my NICS march 19th ....still waiting

I was told by a friend that NJ has subbed out the NICS checks to the state of Florida. That would make sense since it takes so long for the check and the fact everything needs to be faxed.

Champion Communications just the billing portion. The NJ NICS Unit still does the checks.

Today makes 1 week for my Uberti 1873 rifle. My FFL says to expect 14 days.

Went to my local shop got a crapy price and a bad attitude because I asked a lot of questions, left there drove 2 hours into PA got exactly what I wanted at the price it was supposed to cost, picked up 150 rounds of 12gauge 00, 200 rounds of 40 S&W, 100 rounds of 5.56 got a PICS done in 15mins. WTF is wrong with this picture?

We are living in a communist state, if they slow us down enough maybe we will change our minds.......NOT!

 

I have just gained more patience.

The NICS wait times seem to be getting longer (> 10 days). I'm going to end up having to renew my last P2P. Has anyone had problems renewing P2Ps?

Not in Union. I was pretty worried as I read a post way back that they do not renew.

2 weeks, 2 days, still waiting. It's now taken me longer for the NICS check than to get my ID card... which I guess I shouldn't complain about, considering how long it takes in some places to get an ID card.

My NICS check started last Tuesday, they told me 12 to 20 days. At that rate I will definitely need to extend my third permit.

Mine went in last Tuesday at noon. Lets have a race, first one to get the cleared check back wins a dollar.

On the plus side, with this extra time I've been able to purchase a cleaning kit... bore snake... rifle case... range bag... ammunition...

But that's the main issue isn't it? We should not have to wait. There is nothing "instant" about NICS right now and it doesn't seem as though anything is being done about it. If everyone starts to accept this as the norm, then it will end up just like the FID process where 30 days is nothing more to most townships than a number.

Even before all this started, MPC and friends introduced a bill to require federal NICS to be the only background check required to get an FID or P2P. Here's a quaint quote from the bill.

 

"The NICS database is accessible by telephone or electronically via the Internet. In most instances, the information concerning a prospective purchaser’s eligibility to obtain a firearm is provided within 30 seconds."

So 2 weeks for a NICS check. Any response from NJ State Police on what they are doing about it?

I was just down at SS and they said they have people out 24 days and other that come back in 12. He said that 12 days has been the fastest turnaround time. This is such bullshi* The State Police doesn't have to respond to anyone the are the law. I cannot believe that this is still just a backup from the amount of checks they are getting.

I got the call today and picked up my rifle. 3 calendar weeks to the day.

Got the call. 16 days for me

As of yesterday(Sunday) i am on day 14. Looks like i will be waiting awhile to pick up the 500 since i cant submit a new handgun nics until the 1st

Picked up my new Nine today. 16 days for my NICS!

Mine went in last Tuesday at noon. Lets have a race, first one to get the cleared check back wins a dollar.

 

Did yours clear yet?

 

Did yours clear yet?

 

Today at 2pm!

Just dropped my P2P off for my Sig. Last month for my M&P was nine days and I thought that was bad.

I use a hardware store True Value in Lincoln park he's cost effective and does not do allot of transfers so there really is no waiting.

Finally got my pistol home. 

It took me 152 days to buy a pistol in NJ.  (I already had a FID, applied for 3 P2P's and NICS).
