Did he pay by check?
Hodge, it sounds like you need to hang out with buddies that have less of a rap sheet.
Buddy of mine Filled out a form to buy handgun and was put on a waiting list. They said there was 12,000 people in front of him trying to purchase firearms. Are we overloading the system???lol
I've never had a problem.
The only time I've been held up was when my local gun shop had to order the weapon I wanted and the distributor did not have have it and needed to get it from the manufacturer.
Personally, two weeks sounds kind of bogus to me.
