FYI NICS Appeals, process time way up!

Must feel pretty lousy to be treated like that for doing nothing wrong at all.

Ya, I thought I had the clap or sif, & they are just now telling me.

I have done hunderds of transfers and have only seen five customers delayed and one denied. Three of the delayed guys had done transfers before with me and they went right through with no problem. The one denied was due to a previous felony conviction. The FBI purges the NICS information after 24 hours so by doing the VAF it allows them to keep your information on file for future purchases once the issue has been resolved.

I suspect the tainted information is not at the FBI but one of the sources they go to when the do the background checks. Who is to say when the issue is resolved the FBI always notifies the people with the tainted information to make a correction. They get so busy they probably do not catch every one. If you get delayed one time I would not bother with a VAF but if it happens a second time it is best to allow the NICS folks to keep your information in their file system.

I have been delayed 5 times. Once delayed, always delayed. That is why I filled out the proper paper work, & sent in in.
