Well last friday (Dec 1st) I went into purchase a gun. All going well until he called to do a backround check. After spending a few minutes on the phone he said they delayed the purchase till dec. 7th (today). I was informed that if I don't recieve a phone call by today come in and pick it up. So I called a bit ago to see if I can swing by to pick it up and I get well a gun manager has to release it. They will be in contact with you. I really don't know what the deal is, I have no record or anything and am getting extremely aggrivated. Has anybody else had this problem? or am i just out of line? I even called the people doing the backround check and he said that most likely they were busy when they called and I would be able to pick the gun up on the 7th. Thanks for letting me vent.
Whats it take to buy a gun?

Another reason to buy used from a private individual.

·Never had that happen, most all checks are done in a matter of seconds and you walk out with the gun. Is it Wal-Mart? If you have CC permit no check required.

·Jaybee, was it a Handgun? I never had that problem, I don't own any. My wife has a few though. :wink:
I have bought a rifle and a shot gun the pass year and 1/2. They make the call and my wife gets a new gun. The rifle was bought online. When we picked it up they made the call and we were out of there in a 1/2 hour. Bought a shot gun at Wally World and no problem.
This may not help, but just want to sound off.
ANY ONE GOING HUNTING THIS SATURDAY?????

No biggie, I don't think.
I had to wait 3 days as well. If I understand correctly, some checks have enough history to get an "instant OK". Some need a little more digging. If they haven't responded in 3 days, its more of an "assumed OK"
