I submitted a ccw application in January and still haven't gotten my permit issued but today I went to pick up a transfer and was denied.
I've been delayed before (reason I applied for ccw) but never this. I had a C&R FFL that expired in October. I submitted a denial appeal online and uploaded a scan of my expired ffl as evidence.
Anyone know how long this could take?

Re: NICS appeal timeline
Update: my appeal was approved today and I am legal to take possession! I was given a certificate to give to the ffl. Of course they're closed today but I'll get it tomorrow.

A 2-week turnaround is honestly quite a lot faster than I would have expected.

Re: NICS appeal timeline
I imagine being a previous FFL holder helped. On the appeal online document there was a comment box. I mentioned that I very recently had a license and included the old ffl number. Without that it may well have taken longer.brandonsmash wrote: ↑March 4th, 2024, 7:47 pm A 2-week turnaround is honestly quite a lot faster than I would have expected.

Streamlining the purchase process was one of the primary reasons I got my ccw/cwp.MarkItZero wrote: ↑March 4th, 2024, 11:58 am Update: my appeal was approved today and I am legal to take possession!

Re: NICS appeal timeline
Yes, I keep my CCW currently for FFL transfers. It makes them a breeze. I can't tell you how many times I've been in a gun shop and there is a line of guys waiting on the NICS approval. I get bumped to the front of the line as I am not waiting on anything. It's worth it just for that alone.
