Got my first NICS delay on Saturday

[MarkItZero]

Update: almost 4 days later and my "instant" check has cleared

CCW vs. govt roadmap to gun owners, now tell us about your boating accident Mr. Jones! Buy private while you can.

[Boriqua]

Well this could explain a few things. Whew ... Ammo is going to be scarce for a while and I think NICS will continue to be overwhelmed

Only delays I see are seller shipping, and FFL letting me know it's arrived (even thought my tracking said that had it two days ago... .)

As stated ccw is very nice for these issues. I can only imagine the shenanigans the govt gets away with on these “background checks”. First day meeting in Biden admin....*cough* delay everyone *cough*

I totally refuse to do the electronic 4473. Nobody can tell me that doesn't immediately go into a data bank.

As if the person who sold you the said firearm isn't going to cough you up to the NKVD.

If we are at that point and you refuse to resist, you deserve to have them taken.

CCW? Why complain when you could have one and not have this happen

[fredcdobbs]

What is this delayed thing. never happened to me.

I bought two firearms last week (tombstone tactical & Sportsman's warehouse,) and one the week before (Sportsman's) and one the week before that (Sportsman's) - no problems, in an out in 15 mins or less.

I wonder if I am either lucky, or the fact that I am buying fairly regularly is helping. Lol.

Probably the same data bank that any other kind of 4473 goes into, thinking it is only the electronic ones is hilarious.

The FFL keeps a data base...in paper form. Guess where all the forms go when they close? Guess who can come/call get the info from the form at any time?

Not doing a digital form only adds one extra step. If they want the info, they will get it.

Unless you only pay in cash (that you didn't get out of an ATM), don't carry a cell phone, don't have a car with GPS, don't post on an open internet forum (oops), they will find out anything they want about you. Not doing a digital 4473 is the least of your worries.
