IS IT TRUE???

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

 

[IndyGunworks]

no unless its a manufacturer backorder... nothing to do with NICS

 

[ghitch75]

i'm been on delay for 2 days now on a rifle i bought.....been delayed before but they usually call back the next day....be Tuesday before i can get it if they don't call

 

[DFM914]

I walked into my LGS Saturday and bought 2 guns, was out in 15 min. No waiting list...

 

[sprshggy07]

I got approved in like 30 seconds this morning so I don't think the system is overloaded.

No Delay for Me Today

I became the proud owner of a new LCP today from Primative Peddler in Columbus. No delays for me, in and out in about 15-20 minutes.

 

[jaybird_123]

I bought one as well.

 

[blamecharles]

I got delayed in January buying a 22 and then bought a Mosin 2 weeks later took not even 5 minutes and the CZ this week took about the same.

I bought a New Turkey gun today, and went right thru...Come to think of it I have never been delayed, my buddy that has been a angel his whole life gets heldup everytime!

 

[HCRMPD1]

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.

 

[SmileDocHill]

Hodge, it sounds like you need to hang out with buddies that have less of a rap sheet.

 

[68_F100]

Did he pay by check?

 

[sprshggy07]

Did he pay by check?

What is this check you speak of?

That's funny stuff he has never been arrested that's why he's wonderin what's up.I have never been arrested and it is always in and out.

 

[armyvet209]

sounds like a manufacturer or wholesaler delay. never heard of a background delay that long

What form did he fill out?...... What waiting list was he put on?

If he filled out the 4473 and was delayed in picking up his firearm, he will have to wait NO MORE than five days!
When you fill out the 4473, there are three possible results! You are either approved, denied, or delayed!
Most people can walk out with their purchase immediately! Some are delayed. The delay can take anywhere from one to five days! No more!
If the NICS people don't call back within five days, he can pick it up!

There is NO "waiting list" for firearm purchases!

Sounds to me like your friend wanted a specific gun, and there is a wait for that weapon from the manufacturer!

Who said anything about "two weeks"?

 

[U.S. Patriot]

I have a very common name and I have never been delayed.

 

[sparkyfender]

I bought a handgun Sat. afternoon. With a check.
No problem.........

 

[eatsnopaste]

I heard that they will be getting rid of the lifetime LTCH also!
