I guess I looked kinda shady then because the shotgun I bought last summer I was walked clean to my pickup.
Dang . . . wonder if wally world realizes that most (if any) actual gun stores don't do that.
Just picked up a transfer from Sooner State Pawn, and total time spent was less than 10 minutes.
Yea, when I bought the Wally rifle, after waiting all that time, the mgr said she had to walk it to my pickup. However when we reached the front door, it was raining, she said she could just give it to me outside the door haha.
Day 13, no news and dunham says they can't call to check a status
That's insane. It took all of 3 minutes today for me.
Per the FBI - NICS website (https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/nics/about-nics):
"
If potentially prohibitive criteria exists and more information is required in order to make the determination, the NICS examiner will advise the FFL to DELAY the firearm transaction and the FFL will receive the following instructions:
“. . .NTN ___ will be delayed while the NICS continues its research. If you do not receive a final response from us, the Brady Law does not prohibit the transfer of the firearm on day/date.”
The NICS examiner will provide the FFL with the date of the third business day after the firearm check was initiated. Business days do not include the day the check was initiated, Saturdays, Sundays, and any day state offices in the state of purchase are closed. If the FFL has not received from the NICS a final determination after three business days have elapsed since the delay response, it is within the FFL’s discretion whether or not to transfer the firearm (if state law permits the transfer). If the FFL transfers the firearm, the FFL must mark “No resolution was provided within three business days” on line 21d of the ATF Form 4473. It is recommended the FFL record the date provided in the delay response on which the firearm may be lawfully transferred under federal law if a final determination of proceed or denied is not received from the NICS."
You've gone well past three business days and I believe you are legally allowed to take possession. Please research further, but I'm confident at this point if they haven't received a response from NICS, you are allowed to take the firearm.
Legally allowed, but at the FFL’s discretion
