I bought a pistol last week and waited 90 minutes for a background check. Today I initiated another purchase and am told that the wait time is now two days. Wow!

Most NICS checks I’ve called in for the past two months have gone straight to delayed.

If you don’t have a CCW, be prepared to wait the 3 working days delay.
 
I just bought a gun two hours ago. There was no wait time. I was in and out in 15 minutes. I looked at the gun which I bought on line. Filled out paper work. Paid for transfer. walked out with gun.There were three other people there looking or buying a gun but stock was not real bad.
 
I waited almost three hours at a BassPro today in Florida. This was with a CCW card, which makes no difference in Florida. Be patient or come back the next day if possible.
 
In NY and bought a 2.0 Compact 4” last night at Sportsman’s Warehouse, they price match.

Took about 10 minutes from the time I started my 4473 until I walked out with it.

How did you handle the "amendment' issue or was it your first gun on a permit. A amendment can normally take from a quick trip to your licensing authority (not too common in my area) to a month or longer now thanks to that C19 issue

Had a permit since the early 1970s so I'm very curious!
 
I have yet to do any paper work on any gun I have purchased. It seems
I may have lost all of those, oh well. And there is a gun show in Fort
Smith this weekend.

My county (Schulyer) gives a coupon to carry, I always have one in my wallet. When I add this gun they will give me another. So technically it’s not listed on my permit yet.

I pick the gun up and have 10 days to get it added to my permit. I’m one of the quick trip counties. Takes about 10 minutes for me to fill out the amendment form, the clerk to print a new permit and me to give the the $3.

Schulyer is one of the most gun friendly counties in the state. County judge and Sheriff.

Thank you:cool:, where I live is a lot more time under any circumstance. As your aware of every licensing board uses their own rules as long as it fits into the overall state guidelines!

Back in the 1970s I was one of my counties first instructors for the then new pistol permit safety class our county judge wanted!

Be well, Dave
 
In Indiana, if you are delayed and 3 business days pass w/out ATF justifying the delay, you are able to take possession of your gun without a proceed notification. Burden of proof is on ATF and if they do not deny within 3 business days gun is good to go. I've only had that happen once and that is the way it played out, delayed for 3 days with no further correspondence from ATF. I picked up my gun the next day.
 
My Washington state concealed pistol license used to give me the ability to buy and take home the gun the same day. Thanks to our governor and attorney general I am no longer able to do that.
