tried to buy a 22 rifle from academy

[TEAMJACOB]

You know its illegal to target shoot out there? They have signs posted everywhere. There is only one unit you can target shoot a shotgun. The grasslands do not allow center or rim fire guns except for shotguns for hunting

Yeah I found out. When I was little I remember going to a place in the grasslands that people used to target shoot. It was well know and had brass just littered all over. Well I found this cowboy riding horse back and asked him if he knew the place and he told me you couldn't target shoot but who the hell is going to stop me and then directed me to a place. Was pretty cool

The person who is going to stop you is a State Game Warden or a US Forrest Ranger. I wouldnt want to have to explain what your doing to one of those people. If they accuse you of poaching, you goto jail, you can have your gun, vehicle, and anything you have with you siezed.

Well fuck. I never bought this gun because I lost the impulse I had to buy it ovedr the waiting period but then 2 weeks ago I decided I wanted to buy one again and went to bass pro shops and this time I walked out with it.
Well, yesterday I bought an ar-15 lower to pair with a used upper I found and got delayed again....
Is it possible I got delayed since I just bought a gun roughly 12 days ago?
I already paid for this one so I won't be "losing interest" though

[grove rat]

that is why i love my chl. walk in pay, fill out the paperwork, show em my chl and walk out with the gun(pistol/rifle/whatever)

Yeah this alone is a good reason to have one. I'll be signing up sooner than later

Word. That's weird though. I bought maybe a half dozen guns before I got my CHL and never got held up. My dad used to buy a ton of guns, and he only got held up once (but was able to go back the next day? and get it).

If your background check is clean that is very unlikely. Are you getting delays at small gun stores or big box stores?

Delayed at academy when ever I originally made this thread.
Walked out with a rifle from bass pro 2 wks ago
Delayed from cheaper than dirt yesterday...

I agree that its weird. Its also frustrating. A chl would fix this though

[KBScobravert]

Never had a delay and made my first CHL purchase at CTD a couple weeks ago for my new bolt gun project.

I take that back. I was delayed at CTD on a handgun about 5 years ago but only becuase NCIC was down. I left my cell number and got a call 5 minutes after I left. I rushed back and was on may way with my new gun in a few short minutes.

They realized you're a dumb ass.

'nuff said.

The difference is location of purchase

When a NICS check is called in it is called to a branch of the FBI they do a local name/social search on you as well as a criminal background search. The criminal background search is the quick one as it is a list of offenders either felony or misdemeanor for fam violence or domestic. the one that takes longer is the local search. What they are checking is pending cases or arrests. If you have a social or name similar to someone in the same county that has a pending case for something that would possibly take away your freedoms you will be delayed to determine if the offender and you are the same person. What happens when a 4473 is called in is this the sales person reads off the information you provided to the clerk at the FBI. They type the info in name DOB place of birth height weight race state and country of residence and type of weapon purchased. They do their search and either proceed or further review the call. If it goes to further review it gets transferred to a senior clerk who reviews the info. they either proceed, delay, or deny the call. Delays to the Fed are 3 buisness days not including the day called in, weekends or holidays. (call it in on monday you can pick it up friday with no call back) A lot of the big chain stores have adopted the policy that there is no transfer until the FBI calls back with a proceed. My guess is that the CTD and academy are in different counties than Bass pro and someone with either a similar social or name f'd up and your being delayed due to it. Prolly more info than wanted but there it is anyhow

Just now and he said my approval was delayed by the fbi? I've never had a felony or been charged for a felony. What gives?

are you a Mexican?

[TEAMJACOB]

'nuff said.

I've come across the old air problem plenty of times. You'd be surprised how many people it tricks.

Nuff said

No I'm 7/8ths honky and 1/8th nigger

Uh, Wrong!

It's all done on the computer now. There is no phone call...
Enter the info into the NICS search as it appears on the 4473. Wait a couple minutes and retrieve the info. NICS will give a Proceed, Delay, or Deny response. If they get a Delay, they cannot release the firearm until they receive a Proceed from NICS, unless they want a federal offense on their record. Every time they search through NICS it shows any searches that are pending/delayed from that store. It can take 30 days or more for the search to come back with a proceed or deny response. Once the Proceed or Deny is given, the store will call you and let you know.

If the person being searched has a really bad history, NICS may even call the store. Had this happen 1 time. Put info into NICS, 30 seconds later, phone rings and it's NICS/FBI stating under no circumstance do we sell that individual a firearm. Just goes to show you, that even though it is all web-based now, there is still someone on the other end looking at every single search that is done.
