Purchase delay under new 25 day waiting period

[rikwick]

I get delayed all the time (I have appealed it last July, still waiting) but I purchased an AR15 about 3 months ago at TrinTac and yes my ccdw exempted me from the 25 day wait. 

[Bulldog021]

So I have to wonder, my 3 days passed and I picked up the pistol. I asked if the approval came and was told they had not heard anything yet so they are releasing based on that. This has never happened before and even though I get delayed, I do get the approval within the 3 day period. This leads me to think that what everyone was concerned about is actually happening. NICS is slowboating Delaware delays since they know they now have 25 days to get it done. This allows them to worry more about the other states with the standard delay.

Ok, I have now removed my tin foil conspiracy hat .....

Wonder why the delay?  I've gotten every one of my NICS checks through in minutes.  Anyone else running into this?

Could be such things as a common name, an old dismissed charge, lack of disposition posted to FBI on a charge.  I know a retired state trooper who gets delayed. There is a way to stop this but I means putting your name in an FBI list.  Problem with that is that you then authorize them to keep a record of your purchases which would be illegal under NICS.

I doubt this is the case. NICS could care less what individual laws are. I have heard of others in your same situation as well. I think you can apply to be on a list so that this doesn't continue to happen. Someone else here may know the details.

You can apply for a UPIN. You can download a form called a NICS Voluntary Appeal File Application:

I think that's what you need.

I'll just keep the CCDW active and go with 3 and out. Last thing I want is to be on another list somewhere

My neighbor applied for the UPIN on the advice of a local FFL. He's has been waiting awhile...
I had no idea it took that long.

I'm with you, Bulldog021. Thankfully, I have never had a problem with NICS.

Last July I applied for the UPIN and within a few weeks got a letter that they received my application and that they were a year behind.  If anyone applies I think I remember you have to apply within the first 30 days of your delay and you also need the transaction number to put on the application (get it from the ffl). Also I had to send in fingerprints too.

In the case of this new Delaware law it seems that CCW holders (and shotguns) would be exempt from the 25 day rule.

I can hear it now "oh my God!!! A Loophole"

A Loophole? You mean because if I get delayed during my NICS check, I can just turn around and grab a CCDW overnight thereby skirting the 25 day wait period?

ummm try like 3-6 months to get a ccw permit.
that would be correct...ccw holders are exempt...only have to wait till the brady transfer date or before

If a person buys a firearm out of state, waits the 3 days, and has it transferred to a FFL in state for pickup, would that be a "loop hole" to that law?

The NICS check doesn't occur until you are picking up the firearm at your instate FFL. There is no check done at the out of state seller's location.

Can confirm, no wait to buy unless background not done. Purchased special order Glock 43 online via website, tracking # provided from glock to dealer, picked up at dealer same day as delivery
