Did anyone else wait an extreme amount of time yesterday for NICS checks?

Don't know about yesterday but last Monday's check took 24 hrs.

I am so glad I bought my last gun in Michigan, (this past Monday)NICs took all of 2 seconds.

Same in FL yesterday. The problem is NJ doesn't have FFLs contact the fbi direct;y, thus the crap hours and turn around time. In FL you can get a NICS on a Sunday.

Today the wait at the store was about 1 1/2 hour.

My wife picked up her handgun on Wednesday and the NICS only took about 20-30 minutes.

They were backed up about 2 and half hours late Friday. The check didn't come back till sat afternoon

Not to hijack your thread,  but why does the back round check in PA only cost $5.   and is some states , if you have a CCW there is no NICS check at all.   Another Jersey ripoff !

Most states go direct to the fbi for NICS. NJ dealers go through the state to get the data. Dumb, bad service and fewer hours.

 

Texas is one state I can think of that doesn't require NICS with a CCW. Florida has NICS but no waiting period with cwp. I bought a gun at a dealer midday Sunday and took it home.

I can attest to the TX reference...my last gun, I just filled out the 4473, showed my LTC, paid the man $10 for his transfer fee (He charges $15 if he has to run NICS) and walked out the door.

 

 

This signature is AWESOME!!!

Todays NICS check is brutal.

30 seconds for Americans

just tried to finalize a deal, said 6 hours backup, will try for tomorrow

I'm waiting for the PD to call and tell me my permits are ready to pick up. I have a VP9 sitting at Hackettstown Guns and Ammo waiting for me to come get. Guess it doesn't really matter they didn't call today cause I wouldn't have been able to bring it home regardless lol. Next day I can get there is Saturday morning so hopefully they'll be caught up by then cause I got my sons Birthday party at 1pm.

Hope NICS is running OK tomorrow... gotta pick up my 686!

Not as bad, hopefully I get the call for my permits and I can pick up my VP9 Saturday and the wait will be back down to 20ish minutes. I won't have a lot of time Saturday morning before my kids party.

Been two days now. Still delayed. As always.

Waited about 40 minutes today. Not too bad

That makes me feel better. 

I was told some NICS checks went thru fast, but some took a few hours.  I guess maybe I got lucky?  

 

I'm sure it'll go back to normal soon.  A lot of people are getting sick these days, which was part of the reason why my permits took a bit longer than expected.  Maybe a person or two are out at the office

Go early as possible on Saturday. They back up quickly as this is usually the busiest day of the week for them.

NJ NICS is a two day process. Fill out the 4473 one day, then return another within 30 days to pick up your item.

Yesterday was two hours from what I saw.

Filed yesterday at 4:15. Got call this morning 10:10. What is instant about that?
