Gun Purchase - Delay - Deny
« on: January 02, 2019, 02:03:01 PM »
I haven't purchased a new gun for many years.  I went in to buy a youth 22 and I got put on the delay status at Dicks sporting goods on December 6th.  Should I eventually get an official response?  Has anyone gone through this?  If I get denied, will they tell you why?  I am baffled by why it is so difficult to buy a youth 22.  Any advice?

.22s are part of the rifles that have a mandatory wait period.

I've been delayed several times. I have a similar name to someone who's got several felonies so they get "reviewed"

Have you called to see if it's been released yet?  I'm delayed on every purchase I make.  It usually only takes one or two days for the proceed on my purchases.

Isn’t there a time limit? Where if it’s delayed, after so many days of no response they can complete the sale?

This is without a concealed carry permit I am assuming?

"If the FFL has not received a final determination from the NICS 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 check “no resolution was provided within three business days” on line 21d of the ATF Form 4473."

Sounds like its without a CPL. I used to get delayed all the time due to similar name even when I was an l.e.o. until I got my CPL. Now I don't have that issue. Delays were usually 3 to 5 days. You should call them asap.

The information they have me said they the ATF version of who does the reviews has 30 days to respond and not to appeal until after the 30 day window.  No, I do not have a carry permit either.

A CPL has nothing to do with firearm purchases since it is a state permit and not a federal one.  The only thing a CPL will do for you is on a pistol purchase you dont have to wait 10 days. I have a CPL and still get delayed

Dicks is famous for making gun buys difficult. I think they have a policy of waiting for approval and not accepting the "time" limit. Do not buy anything from Dicks! If you did not pay yet just get it somewhere else, cancel Dicks
