Black Friday Taxes the NICS System

[Dr.Midnight]

Sorry, but I had to remove the link. If you want to read the story, I would search for AOL, NICS, and Black Friday gun sales.

Very informative read. So if no answer in 3 days you're ok'ed to get the gun?

Wait, AOL still exists?

Gun-Buy Background Checkers Overwhelmed, Fear Black Friday

not sure why you would have deleted the story link, but here is one.

They seem understaffed on regular days.

Nothing could be worse than NICS on Black Friday a couple years ago.

I just got back from Rural King and the firearms area was lined up with customers. Had to take a number to get waited on. Clerk behind counter already appeared to be exhausted and the store had only been open for 2 hours

Mama goes shopping, daddy looks for guns. America at it's BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got back from "Black Friday" shopping and bought a rifle. They had me do an online form and it went right through. Somebody else next to me did a paper form and the girl calling it in was still on hold when I left. It actually took longer at the cash register to pay for it than it did for the background check. I hope everyone else had the same luck.

I was in Rural King earlier today. The whole store was busy but the gun counter was swarmed.

Probably very few places that sell guns were open today. Wait until tomorrow...and wait...and wait.
