Delayed again!!
« on: December 11, 2009, 10:51:23 PM »
I went down to the gun shop today and paid off my lay away and once again I was delayed in getting the clearance of taking it home.  I have been delayed with every new gun I have purchased.  I don't buy a lot of guns but every few years or so I treat myself. 

There must be some dirt bag out there with the same name as me or something.  :chuckle:

Anyone else get delayed every time?

i actually got denied a rifle one time, this was a bout a month after i had just bought 2 new handguns. there system is so freakin screwed. they destroy there info after i think 48 hours of approval (have to by law) but save a delay or denial even if its a mistake. one of the reasons i don't buy new guns any more (main reason being paranoia)

This is just something I was told at a gun counter and not sure if its true but it sounds good.
One you've been denied or delayed its in the computer system and from then on, when you do the App. a red flag is going to pop up, becuse of the past delay and delay it again.

You would think it would be the other way around.  Once you have been delayed they should pretty much know who you are the next time.  What can you expect from a government bureaucracy though.  :dunno:

The last time I bought a gun it was a shot gun and they never did call the store back.  I went down there after the 3 days and picked it up.

Guys, delay at the counter is an inconveniece, but a good thing. If your name and DOB match exactly that of a felon....they will delay you. Not saying you do, but if you have a criminal record, with a conviction in your past, a conviction which could possibly deny you gun rights....you will be delayed. The reason for the delay is so that CJIS has time for a trained NICS staffer to review your search and determine if you can possess a firearm. This is the law, and a good thing, it keeps guns out of the hands of criminals.

If you continually get delayed because some buttsmear has used your name, or your name matches....there is a way to get into a database to help you cruise thru the process next time, this system is called VAF (Volunteer Appeal File)...

General NICS info plus VAF info:  http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/nics/nicsfact.htm

 Voluntary Appeal File (VAF)

Under this new process, potential purchasers may apply to be considered for entry into the VAF by signing an applicant statement which authorizes the NICS Section to retain information that would otherwise be destroyed upon the approval of the firearm transaction. This retained information includes, but is not limited to: a fingerprint card, court documentation, correspondence, and information contained in the applicant’s appeal file if one exists. A complete NICS check is still required for future purchases and will result in a denial if additional prohibitive information is discovered. The NICS Section is required to destroy any records submitted to the VAF upon written request of the individual.

That's obviously not true because I have been delayed once and never again after.

No federal record of a gun search is retained when they run a "brady" check on you. No record. Nothing to hit against the second try...

Another reason to have your concealed permit.  Have never been delayed, always walked out with my purchase, same day.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

i agree with iceman but not 100% you don't have to have the same date of birth to get delayed i know because i went to school with a guy named richard reed you know the guy who tried to light c4 with a match and got busted the guy i know had the same name first middle and last and he said he got red flaged every time have not talk to him in awhile but i am sure its still the same way. my father was the same way got delayed allot no background what so ever must be someone with the same name. sucked every time he went to get a new gun for the family when i was younger we would drive a few hours pick out a gun and have to drive back up there a few days later because it took a few days to clear. i have never had to wait more than about 10 seconds so i am lucky i guess.

and huntbear my father had his concealed permit and that did not help him at all.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.  I was just wondering if others get delayed every time like I do.  The dealer told me you can get a pin # that allows them to identify you immediately.   He says it take a couple months to process and you have to send in a bunch of info.  I only buy a gin once every few years or so and it doesn't bother me to have to wait a few days to pick it up so I don't think I need to go through the trouble.  He also told me concealed permit would make no difference. 

I did get arrested once 25 years ago for minor in consumption of alcohol so maybe thats it.  :dunno: :chuckle:

:yeah:

i feel the exact opposite of this. i will not ask permission to buy/own or carry a fire arm. i was born with permission. and one more reason i don't buy new guns antmore. and as far as keeping guns out of the wrong hands, you don't really believe that do you ice? worked pretty well in lakewood  :dunno:
