Wondering if you file your paperwork with your SSN. I do not and believe most people do not.
I wanted to know what the reasons were for the delays. I can only guess and thought maybe Chris or another FFL guy could help. I want this information to shed light on how to fix the problem. You can't fix the problem if one is kept in the dark. I don't expect our favorite FFL guys to know these problems, maybe we need a FBI or LEO to explain why background checks are delayed because computers today are fast.
Whether it's 3 days (why not the same day) or 5 days doesn't matter if we don't know what the heck the problem is. That only makes rikwick wait longer for his legal and constitutionally protected right of purchasing a firearm. Obtaining a lawyer is also a necessity sometimes when you need a UPIN and I hope rikwick was not burdened.
I am of the opinion that the constitution doesn't have a waiting period. Fix the freaking System or get rid of it and explain to this hard head what the problems are! I sincerely don't know but I have a good idea how to fix problems like most here. Obviously rikwick didn't have a similar name problem. By the way, way to hang rikwick.
Legislation is seldom the answer, and there is more troubling Legislation on the way and being written all over this nation by gun grabbers. I only need the Constitution of the United States and a good blacksmith.
ppscarry..the delay is not a huge problem...why some people get delayed varies....things that happened in the past,minor offenses,security clearances,similar name,jr/sr 2nd/3rd on and on...nothing that would really prohibit ownership of a firearm but nics claims they don't have access right away to that info....I have customers that get delayed sometimes and other times proceed...never know from one examiner to another.....have had denieds that were overturned due to mistakes so you never know.......
What scares me is the state getting involved with the federal system...don't understand how that will work but whatever....second what if and i say what if they choose not to call back and delay everyone claiming staffing problem or systems issues?
? case to note is last saturday...nics call in center was down all day..was only able to do checks online.....now what..they don't call back no more transfers????that's a risk that should not be noted lightly.....the 3 day was put into place to protect from the no call back....is that how criminals get guns? no way...fixes anything? no....carolina shooter was fbi/nics error....that's what needs fixed...stop pointing your finger at everything else and place the responsibility on the organizations that are failing to do their jobs...
