Is NICS Blocking Your Purchase? 

Been over a year in research

Three purchases three 10- under review then thirty days undetermined. Only form letter response. What a pain, but that life in California.

@@olveramelinda yky

For a right, they sure treat it like a privilege

@@jwilli726 Whew, got my license for free speech finally for that comment: KG5YRN (if you search that, its my actual free speech license, it will pop up with my name and registered address). But as a joke my comment may be a year old but that's still faster than some NFA paperwork turnaround

Yes, and most states are like that.... Until the Fed steps in and says your state's CCW is no longer as good as a background check. Then, you're just any other peon waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

Damn right, PREACH brother 🤘

Must be nice. I have my CCW here in California and I still have to wait 10 days each time I buy a gun. My most recent purchase a Marlin 1894 Cowboy took 16 days for the background to go through due to DOJ being so backed up. Im not panic buying like the rest of the country. I have plenty guns and ammo to deal with what ever threat might present itself. I just wanted a Marlin 1984 with the octagon barrel. Me and lever action rifles have a love affair.

Washington state got rid of being able to do that a few years ago. Now everyone has to wait for the background check. I waited 47 days to get a firearm and just received it last month.

That’s one thing that sucks in New Hampshire. We’re a very gun friendly, constitutional carry state, BUT there is absolutely no way to get around having to take a background check for each and every purchase

someone who did some bad things must have your same name

Same thing. I’m an Army vet with with an Honorable Discharge and I always get delayed

get a UPIN

Waiting in Ca. 28 days in review?

Bunch of BS!

This is my first time and was denied. It is a total infringement of our 2nd amendment rights.

Same for me and I'm 59, forty years of walking out with a new freedom stick in 15 minutes .... 2020 and "Delayed" is the new normal ...

@@tommyg2966 everyone I know has been delayed this year

Got delayed and said "what the fuck" guy standing next to me waiting for his to go through also got delayed and said the same thing.

Same here and I even have stamps. Who knows what’s going on

@pcpolice I found it hard to believe that Cabela’s would lie to you. They have no reason to lie to you. They do not want ANYTHING to delay getting firearm into the customers hands. You should see what it’s like trying to buy a firearm in California... it’s horrible

@John Smith “They don’t ever have 9mm ammo”.... that has to be one of the dumbest comments I have ever read on these RU-vid videos. Congratulations. Maybe NOW.... NOW THAT THERE IS A PANDEMIC... going on... in 2020. Nobody has ammo. Again, what a dumb comment.

Or more likely it's just that stores policy to not transfer until they a definitive answer. Find that hard to be with Cabelas but no idea what state your in. Also really trash because they have no 9mm? A whole shit load of places don't have 9mm or .223 or 5.56 right now and those that do are setting limits on it. I.E local shop has a 80 rounds of 5.56 a day limit per person. 9mm is a big nope unless your buying some for the indoor range. Though the way our state is going that will probably be closed down now due to mandates.

BOB+RAYGUN+PIPE=X-DAY(1995) Cabela’s IS a FFL. They do the transfers

Alan T They didn’t want to tell me that it is store policy to hold it until they get a definitive go. They lied and said NICS was holding. NOT TRUE. Either that or just plain incompetence. I wasn’t dealing with the sharpest tool in the shed

Good for you!

I’m in the same boat. I have a double stack 40, a double stack 9, and a marlin 30-30. I guess I have what I need. Although I feel like I need an AR soon because the election is gonna cause problems.

USA 1ST Unfortunately this happens often enough that there are attorneys with successful practices specializing on cases like my friend’s.

You don’t sue. You challenge and appeal the deny first

I live in Missouri.wish it was like that here,I am delayed every other purchase.

That is how it is here in Iowa. If you buy a gun at a big box store, their store policy may require a NICS check. But it isn't required. My local gunshop checks the County website to see if my permit is valid...if so..👍good to go

@@HK-qj4im that would be cool.

Curious if your state has legalized recreational or medical marijuana use. I’m in Michigan. Have had my CPL for 15 years. That’s counted as a background check until this past year. Feds found marijuana users with CPL’s slipping through the cracks. They reached out to the state with a list of illegal purchases and the state was directed to no longer accept CPL as an adequate background check. Since then all 3 of purchases this year have been delayed. Never once used marijuana.

@@wrxified I'm in Arkansas. We are just now getting "medical" pot. Which I think is for the most part a farce. Just like in the prohibition there was medical alcohol available with a prescription. Just stepping stones to becoming a recreational drug. But for the moment, at least here, if you have a pot prescription, you lose your concealed carry license. Any time Uncle Sam says "we're going to give you something" there's always a hook in it somewhere.

In Utah it's five minutes

I'm in Florida and I have been wanting for a month in pending status. I spoke to the dealer and he told me he had a person who had to wait three months before the FDLE gave the approval. Does this sound right? Thanks

@@audiesc4072 after three days the store can elect to sell it to you, FYI.

@@mikescherrer4923 I’m in Florida from Florida and currently going through pending decision it’s been 2 days and mike scherrer Florida pass a law back in 2018 stating that Florida can put your transaction into decision pending after 3 days due to the shooting at the school parkland shooting . Moral of the story Florida made it to where 3 days doesn’t matter anymore it’s up to them now and it’s sucks because I just got conceal just went in to buy ar-15 now this waiting bs mind you not I already waited 5 months to get my conceals due to basically decision pending they had to further investigate

Lots of old guard feds retiring and communist infused college graduates filling into federal agencies. Im not surprised at all.

Same here in Louisiana

My record in WI is 4:44 for a stripped AR lower. I start the timer when I walk in the door and stop it when I walk out. Of course, I knew exactly what I went in there for. I filled out the paper work, paid, and walked out. Clean living pays off.

@@timothyschmeling2341 What happens if the gun store is busy and you have to wait in line? Wouldn't that theoretically throw off your system of tracking the actual time it takes?

Exactly. I waited in line longer than it took to fill out the paperwork and paying for the gun.

Go Texas!

Me too you have to go the right place

No NICS required here in Kansas if you have a CCP. Still have to fill out the 4473, but no NICS.

@@cephasmartin8593 Same in Minnesota.

@David Kuykendall Kansas also has Constitutional Carry, but I still got my CCP because 1) it's good in 39 states, and 2) no NICS, which can sometimes take 15 to 20 minutes. Another advantage here in Kansas is that your CCP is your driver's license number and if you're stopped they know you're probably carrying and they also know you're a law abiding citizen. The LEO's I've talked to like people who have their CCP because they feel they can trust them. I was stopped once and I had 4 pistols and 2 long guns in my pickup. I was never asked about firearms and was told to have a good day.

Found in Virginia that having a CCW slows the approval process.

Getting my carry soon not soon enough

There's only 1 other person in the world with my name yet I've never been approved instantly

At least it's not John Smith.

Could be worse could be John Dough and someone is calling it in so it sounds like John Doe. I'm sure the FBI would take forever on that one.

My name isn't common, but having lived in california for 30+ years (Arizona now) i've been delayed on EVERY FFL purchase.

You're buying from the wrong place.

Im an Oregonian to, my delay hits the 30 day mark tomorrow

@@timgraham7851 How so?

@@americancitizen1885 Buy private sale out of state.

@@goonholiday656 did you ever get your firearm

My name is very, very common..My name is Juan Gonzalez..and it is crazy how much that name comes up just here in Ohio let alone the whole country. I just tried to buy a 45 pistol..paid for it..waited like an hr. Got denied! I don't have domestic violence on my record, nor any felonies..just some weed and bowl charges but that has been over 5 yrs ago, really about 6-7 yrs ago. I went to get my prints done at BCIS...then went court house to get a back ground check from sheriff or whatever. I still got denied!! I don't understand. The mother of my children died about 7 yrs ago and I went to court for my kids who ended up going with their grandmother because I didn't have the means and resorces to take them even though I didn't want it that way. I remember the judge wanted me to get a drug screening and mental health evauation if I wanted my kids, but It was a moot point as I wasn't in a position to take them. Did that mess me up??? I got the paper from the sheriff says something on my record..but didn't tell me....I just don't know what the heck I'm held up for. I'm 42 and this was my very first attempt to buy a gun. What the heck is going on. The gun dealer gave me the stuff/papers to appeal. But I just don't know why it got denied?? Can anyone out here in comments figure what it could be??..or is it just a defunct system and I'm just being jammed up like some of the comments I'm reading here?

@@johncarlwaton9620 Terrible news. It depends on what state you live in also. Each one is unique.

What it ended up happening?

And you cannot take a firearm into the town of Tombstone.

😡

How long do you usually wait?

@@jonl9801 it's usually like a little over week before they call me to tell me it's good

Tommy G get a UPIN. You may have a common name.

Same, never been delayed until 2020

You do realise those 80%s litterally need a serial number on them right lmfaoo same for p80s and any other firearm made by a private individual

I live in Washington State I'm not a felon I don't have any history of mental illness never been convicted of domestic violence but I was denied a gun purchase today... Do you have any idea why this may be happening.. any helpful information I would appreciate
