Gun Purchase - Delay - Deny

[Seahawk12]

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

So does government shut down effect NicS?

Can happen anywhere.

My local gun store guy was talking about this the other day. Some checks take days and there is never an explanation from the Feds. My last one was near instant.

Screw Dicksn they are funding the anti gun campaign. They bought Big 5 and own Field & Stream.
I refuse to spend my money at anti gun stores.
Costco, 7/11, Panera Bread and a bunch of other businesses San all go to hell.

So I've not much experience purchasing guns from stores but I've always gone in and filled out the form and gave them my cpl and shortly thereafter walked out with my new firearm. Is this not how it is for everyone? What's the delay about?

Surprised you didnt mention wal mart and rei.  Want to fill me in on the costco thing?

I would go somewhere else if the delay was more than a day or two. CPL doesn’t make buying a long gun easier, just makes it so the ffl can run it since the extra scrutiny has already been done within the last five years.

Bad news is the FBI is ending the courtesy checks on hand gun sales, people with CPL will have to wait like everyone else.

Where did you hear this?

I get delayed every single time. It should only take a day or two. In fact I was put on a delay Saturday and was called today (the store was closed Monday and Tuesday). You get delayed by the feds so it doesn't matter what store it is. I personally would never buy a gun from dicks though...

Lots of mis-information here.

First, the OP did not mention handgun or rifle. Typically, a Youth .22 comes in rifle form. Either way, this should have been settled long ago by either a DENIAL, OPEN, or PROCEED status. I imagine the idiot assigned to enter the NICS checks has never checked the NTN status, or they lost the OP's phone number.

Second, the proposed 10 day wait on semi- autos is not in effect till July.

Third, any decent FFL (which category Dick's clearly does not fit in) would have notified the applicant of any denial. Delays usually flip to OPEN or DENIED after 3 days.

Fourth, the FBI courtesy checks referenced do not end until July.

Just read the same thing in a news paper article about the fbi courtesy checks...
