@@jwilli726 Whew, got my license for free speech finally for that comment: KG5YRN (if you search that, its my actual free speech license, it will pop up with my name and registered address). But as a joke my comment may be a year old but that's still faster than some NFA paperwork turnaround
A friend of mine was denied and it was a mistake. He is a law-abiding citizen with a clean record and owns many firearms. It was a nightmare for him and had to sue the FBI to clear his name. Thanks for a very informative video. Cheers!
On a side note I love your videos I watch them all the time. My sons are US military and we've often talked about taking a road trip just to see your shop.
Yes, and most states are like that.... Until the Fed steps in and says your state's CCW is no longer as good as a background check. Then, you're just any other peon waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
Must be nice. I have my CCW here in California and I still have to wait 10 days each time I buy a gun. My most recent purchase a Marlin 1894 Cowboy took 16 days for the background to go through due to DOJ being so backed up. Im not panic buying like the rest of the country. I have plenty guns and ammo to deal with what ever threat might present itself. I just wanted a Marlin 1984 with the octagon barrel. Me and lever action rifles have a love affair.
Washington state got rid of being able to do that a few years ago. Now everyone has to wait for the background check. I waited 47 days to get a firearm and just received it last month.
That’s one thing that sucks in New Hampshire. We’re a very gun friendly, constitutional carry state, BUT there is absolutely no way to get around having to take a background check for each and every purchase
this was very informative thank you very much for explaining this to me, as. I was recently placed on a delay and had never had this happen to me before. I have bought a number of firearms and had never been placed on a delay or been denied. so thank you very much.
Your videos are always so incredibly helpful and informative, thank you kindly for continuing to provide information and help to those lost in the process.
In Florida, you still have to wait until your NICS goes through and then you can walk out with it. No CCW permit and you have to wait the required days. I have found that, the earlier in the day you buy, the less the wait time is. By about mid-morning or just after noon, the wait time will go from, roughly 30 minutes, to up near 3-6 hours.
I'm in Florida and I have been wanting for a month in pending status. I spoke to the dealer and he told me he had a person who had to wait three months before the FDLE gave the approval. Does this sound right? Thanks
@@mikescherrer4923 I’m in Florida from Florida and currently going through pending decision it’s been 2 days and mike scherrer Florida pass a law back in 2018 stating that Florida can put your transaction into decision pending after 3 days due to the shooting at the school parkland shooting . Moral of the story Florida made it to where 3 days doesn’t matter anymore it’s up to them now and it’s sucks because I just got conceal just went in to buy ar-15 now this waiting bs mind you not I already waited 5 months to get my conceals due to basically decision pending they had to further investigate
@pcpolice I found it hard to believe that Cabela’s would lie to you. They have no reason to lie to you. They do not want ANYTHING to delay getting firearm into the customers hands. You should see what it’s like trying to buy a firearm in California... it’s horrible
@John Smith “They don’t ever have 9mm ammo”.... that has to be one of the dumbest comments I have ever read on these RUclips videos. Congratulations. Maybe NOW.... NOW THAT THERE IS A PANDEMIC... going on... in 2020. Nobody has ammo. Again, what a dumb comment.
Or more likely it's just that stores policy to not transfer until they a definitive answer. Find that hard to be with Cabelas but no idea what state your in. Also really trash because they have no 9mm? A whole shit load of places don't have 9mm or .223 or 5.56 right now and those that do are setting limits on it. I.E local shop has a 80 rounds of 5.56 a day limit per person. 9mm is a big nope unless your buying some for the indoor range. Though the way our state is going that will probably be closed down now due to mandates.
Alan T They didn’t want to tell me that it is store policy to hold it until they get a definitive go. They lied and said NICS was holding. NOT TRUE. Either that or just plain incompetence. I wasn’t dealing with the sharpest tool in the shed
I'm in Oregon, have a CCL, bought a couple guns at 2 different times, cleared in minutes. Next gun I bought went to delay for 2 weeks, then clear. Next 2 guns I bought the background check cleared in minutes. Next purchase went to delay for 30 days, then cleared. Bought another gun no problem, 30 days later bought another and am now intto week 2 of delay.
Good Video!!!! I ordered a Pistol,a month ago,during the down side of the panic buying,from a Large On-Line Retailer.It was shipped to my FFL and I had it in 8 Business Days. It took longer to fill out the 4473 than to get approved!!!!! I walk'd out of the Gun Shop in less than 20 minutes,WITH MY NEW PISTOL!!!!! He did say that most people are hung up for some reason and that they really must like me.I'll say,It felt really good walking out with my new toy.I actually thought that I might have to wait for It,after hearing about all of the HOOPLA.OF COURSE I'M NOT A FIRST TIME GUN BUYER EITHER!!!!!
Been delayed 3 times this year. Never had this happen. I'm 36,been buying guns since I was 18....but 2020 has been the 1st year I've been delayed(3 times)
I’m in the same boat. I have a double stack 40, a double stack 9, and a marlin 30-30. I guess I have what I need. Although I feel like I need an AR soon because the election is gonna cause problems.
My record in WI is 4:44 for a stripped AR lower. I start the timer when I walk in the door and stop it when I walk out. Of course, I knew exactly what I went in there for. I filled out the paper work, paid, and walked out. Clean living pays off.
@@timothyschmeling2341 What happens if the gun store is busy and you have to wait in line? Wouldn't that theoretically throw off your system of tracking the actual time it takes?
Very informative video Chris. Would be cool if you did a video on NFA items, the process for silencers and such since they're becoming more popular, form 1's, form 4's, trusts vs individual, paper vs e-file, etc...
@David Kuykendall Kansas also has Constitutional Carry, but I still got my CCP because 1) it's good in 39 states, and 2) no NICS, which can sometimes take 15 to 20 minutes. Another advantage here in Kansas is that your CCP is your driver's license number and if you're stopped they know you're probably carrying and they also know you're a law abiding citizen. The LEO's I've talked to like people who have their CCP because they feel they can trust them. I was stopped once and I had 4 pistols and 2 long guns in my pickup. I was never asked about firearms and was told to have a good day.
I’ve never been denied but I’ve been delayed. I bought a Mosin over a decade ago and as I drove home I thought about the buy I got it was under $100; once I got home I threw the gun in the safe and went back. I bought another from the same store and was delayed; it blew the mind of both me and the associate as he was the one that called me in maybe 20 minutes before, when I passed. I said not a big deal and drove home; when I walked in I gad a message on the machine that it went through and I was good to go. I went back and picked it up and was glad the store was only maybe 6 miles away as if it was much further I would have been more annoyed. I’m a LEO that’s been printed and investigated a few time for different agencies and licenses and have only had thus one issue in quite a few purchases. The easiest time though I’ve ever had was having a Glock shipped to my agency; I called the county clerk and had the gun added to my pistol permit and they mailed me the updated permit. This was a few years back, NY has gotten tougher in the last few years; not that NY was ever 2A friendly.
Thank goodness I have my concealed carry license. I fill out the 4473, hand the dealer my drivers license, concealed carry license, pay, and walk out with my firearm.
That is how it is here in Iowa. If you buy a gun at a big box store, their store policy may require a NICS check. But it isn't required. My local gunshop checks the County website to see if my permit is valid...if so..👍good to go
Curious if your state has legalized recreational or medical marijuana use. I’m in Michigan. Have had my CPL for 15 years. That’s counted as a background check until this past year. Feds found marijuana users with CPL’s slipping through the cracks. They reached out to the state with a list of illegal purchases and the state was directed to no longer accept CPL as an adequate background check. Since then all 3 of purchases this year have been delayed. Never once used marijuana.
@@wrxified I'm in Arkansas. We are just now getting "medical" pot. Which I think is for the most part a farce. Just like in the prohibition there was medical alcohol available with a prescription. Just stepping stones to becoming a recreational drug. But for the moment, at least here, if you have a pot prescription, you lose your concealed carry license. Any time Uncle Sam says "we're going to give you something" there's always a hook in it somewhere.
I bought a gun about 2 weeks ago. Background check took 15 minutes or so. Will be picking up another firearm next week. Hopefully it’s about the same. Fingers crossed. In Florida even though I have a carry permit they still do NCIS check every time. Only benefit when purchasing is there is no waiting period for a hand gun if you have a carry permit. I have been delayed as long as 24 hours before. Pain in the butt.
I work for an ffl in Nevada. Here, we go through state to clear nics. Process used to be about a 5 minute hold on the phone and you'd get your response. This year it's been a challenge just to get on the phone with them. In March April 2 weeks of constant attempts without getting through. Or you would get through and on hold for 7 hours only to be disconnected. I have found out there are only 3 employees on duty at a given time, hence the delays. Initially we tried faxing but 60 apps were lost. Even now the average to get on the phone if you can is a 4 hour hold. It has calmed enough where we can fax again and they respond within 2 to 3 business days.
Took me 20 months in NY to get first hand gun. CCW. When I went to get permit, county clerk asked how long it took bc judges to them not to have anyone call with “how much longer until 18 months!”
I was told by 2 seperate FFLs in Texas that during the pandemic buying frenzy NICS had actually extended the 5 day period for a couple of weeks. I was not delayed it was just in conversation. I wonder if perhaps NICS was just intimidating the dealers into thinking they could hold it up and the FFLs wanting not to be accused of breaking a rule and losing their income didn't question it.
Florida is a point-of-contact state so we can't use NICS directly. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement runs our checks. Problem is that they *do* hold up some records checks. I have several that have been on hold since March. Longest one I have seen is 7-months. Florida eliminated the 3-day release in 2018. So we can't release a firearm until FDLE completes and approves the background check (aka "green lighting"). ATF says the 30-day expiration of the 4473 starts when FDLE renders an approval decision, not the day the person signed the 4473.
A friend of mine was a gunsmith so he had an FFL. ATF told him he could deny the sale of any firearm for any reason OR no reason. If he "Felt funny" about someone that was cause enough not to proceed with the sale.
My "gun guy" explained to me that the more common name you have, the greater chance you have of being denied or held up. Being my name is so very rare and my name is already in the fed's data base, I never have an issue.. Just something to think about.. Keep the good vids coming. Look forward to them.
My name is very, very common..My name is Juan Gonzalez..and it is crazy how much that name comes up just here in Ohio let alone the whole country. I just tried to buy a 45 pistol..paid for it..waited like an hr. Got denied! I don't have domestic violence on my record, nor any felonies..just some weed and bowl charges but that has been over 5 yrs ago, really about 6-7 yrs ago. I went to get my prints done at BCIS...then went court house to get a back ground check from sheriff or whatever. I still got denied!! I don't understand. The mother of my children died about 7 yrs ago and I went to court for my kids who ended up going with their grandmother because I didn't have the means and resorces to take them even though I didn't want it that way. I remember the judge wanted me to get a drug screening and mental health evauation if I wanted my kids, but It was a moot point as I wasn't in a position to take them. Did that mess me up??? I got the paper from the sheriff says something on my record..but didn't tell me....I just don't know what the heck I'm held up for. I'm 42 and this was my very first attempt to buy a gun. What the heck is going on. The gun dealer gave me the stuff/papers to appeal. But I just don't know why it got denied?? Can anyone out here in comments figure what it could be??..or is it just a defunct system and I'm just being jammed up like some of the comments I'm reading here?
I am a CPL holder, and I was just delayed for a shotgun...dealer gave me a 10 day period to get it if I don’t get a answer, but I’m in Michigan and it’s still a 3 business day waiting period. Why would he say 10 days? Makes me think it’s some sort of discrimination
Bought 2 pistols, 1 rifle in the last months, online gun stores charged my credit card without shipping them until 4 weeks later and with 2 follow up calls, all 3 were with cut off capacities to not over 10 bullets for my pistols and an ar 15 in New Jersey, no suppressors, no bayonet lugs allowed, bought 2 more, one revolver, 1 shotgun in the last weeks, still awaits for them to ship, no bullup shotguns are complaints in NJ if they are semi with mags, all 3 bought took 3 days to clear Nicks, 2 trips to the same store for each gun, these experiences are among the worst purchasing experiences, waited longer than buying a house!
In Georgia where I live, if you go through the process of getting a concealed carry permit...during which you get a pretty extensive background check...then you don't have to undergo a NICS check at point of purchase. You just select a firearm, fill out your portion of the 4473, pay, and leave with your purchase. If you don't have a carry permit, you undergo the NICS background check...which usually just takes a matter of minutes. Now here in Georgia the carry permit procedure's price varies some around the State, but my cost is around 85 bucks. Around twelve years ago prior to me getting a permit, dealers charged 5 bucks for the instant check......don't know what it is now. It does upset me to have to pay for a permit to exercise my Constitutional right. I haven't heard people getting charged to exercise their freedom of speech, religion etc.
Kinda funny theirs a lot more qualified people to own a weapon then those who think their gonna play hero someday with a ccwp and use their firearms in a shootout defensively most are gonna shit their pants and the other half aren’t going to know where the shots are coming from unless it’s a distictive shooter most people don’t have the proper training of people actually shooting at you I’d prefer to take cover and let the police figure it out even if I’m carrying I’m not going to be obligated to inject myself into a hero situation and make it harder for the police and potentially end up dead unless someone is deliberately pointing a weapon at me and at that point most people are kinda screwed especially if it’s past the 30 ft rule anyways because dude pulling the trigger is much quicker then you drawing your weapon
Hey man. I wasn't denied but I was decision pending in florida. I was arrested but the state didn't pick up the charges. I sent my final disposition of charges to fdle. Florida dept of Law enforcement. How long has your appeal taken?
@@fernandoaispuro159 I think certain misdemeanors will get a person denied as well. I was denied and called the number provided to the FBI to find out why. They told me it was something on my background from 30 years ago, but wouldn't tell me what it was unless I paid them for that information. I KNOW I never had a felony. I was so embarrassed, I never attempted to buy again. This was only a shotgun too.
@@chrisbrady8186 yah - i think misdemeanor possession will definitely get you - and also if it happened to be a misdemeanor that has a potential of more than 1 year in prison as a charge (even if you didn't serve time - just if it's possible to be sentenced to that for you what you did) - which is kind of nuts because some states allow for several year sentences for misdemeanor crimes. I also believe some states disclose mental health and drug rehabilitation treatment records to their own databases and if you happen to be in a state that checks both NICS and state databases, that will prohibit you.
@@davidkeetz misdemeanor possession could get you , under " unlawful user or addicted to any control substances.".. what i read on atf is like " a conviction for controlled substance in the last year, or multiple arrest in five years, with the most recent one being within the last year can be used to infer current unlawful use. So you were convicted of misdemeanor possession, it be a year befors you could purchase
I’m in California and I was initially approved to pick up my firearm after 15 days, then they called me back and said I had to wait 30-40 days I was so pissed off
Interesting you mentioned dealers calling customers to whome they did a transfer for which were later denied by NICS. It is my understanding the ATF sends agents physically to the denied person's residence to retrieve the firearm.
I live in New Jersey. I am currently in the process of purchasing my hand gun. I am now in week three. I purchased online and my local FFL just received the weapon yesterday. I had to pass two previous background checks just to get to the pint where my local FFL has to submit ANOTHER check. Yup, that's three background checks for NJ.
I've literally purchased hundreds of firearms in my life and NICS approved me every time ... Then came 2020 ... I've been "delayed" on every purchase ... I'm typically buying a lower receiver because I build ... Perhaps it's time to drill 2 holes and go ghost gun ....
I would assume that if the background check goes from open to denied any customer returns the firearm to your store that you would give them a refund. What about if the person does not return the firearm and the ATF has to pay them a visit to collect it, does the ATF return it to your store or do they keep it in their evidence procedures, and if the ATF returns it to your store do you then give the customer a refund?
Have purchased many guns, never a delay or problem....until the last one...found a Marlin 60 .22lr in a pawn shop...filled out the paperwork...since the SS# is optional, I decided I would leave it off...called in...put on delayed status and was told by the pawn shop employee I would need to come back in 3 days. Then the next morning, pawn shop called and said come in and pick up your rifle, you are cleared! I fully believe if I had filled in my SS#, I would have been immediately approved. So don't believe that crap about SS# being optional! If you want the gun that day, fill it out!
My friend bought a rifle and it took him a year and had to get his lawyer on it to get his rifle,a yr common man.After his attorney sent them a letter he got his gun the next day.
I’ve never been delayed in my life. I’ve made at least 50-60 gun purchases in my life and it wasn’t until last week when I bought a Glock 48 and an ar lower it got delayed. Came back clean two days later but I found it odd since it’s never happened
Same here. Bought a Glock for my wife 5 weeks ago and was out the door with the firearm within an hour from walking in. Bought a G3 for myself last week and they put a 3 business day hold on me. I’ve never had an issue in 30 years until last week. I’m in a state where anyone over 21 that’s “clean” can concealed carry without any kind of permit.
Delayed 30 days and I was told I have to go through the entire process again. I do live in Indiana. A bad system and one that is against my right to own a gun. I have a clean record!
You need to talk about permanent residence. We are automatically put on hold or delay. I have lived in the US for 25 years as a permanent resident from Canada. Every time I go to buy a gun I'm on delay. I've checked the forms and read up and it's because I'm a permanent resident. I don't have a problem with that but you need to make a video about it.
My girlfriend has been on delay status for 3 weeks! She has Zero criminal records. The shop said CBI is supposed to send her a letter??? We have no idea what’s going on?
I bought a gun about two months ago from a licensed pawn shop dealer. I got delayed initially and was able to get my gun. However, I didn’t pick it up in time within 30 days, so I had to fill out the background form again. In total 3 times for this purchase… still was able to get the gun, no problems. Just tried to buy another gun this week, and they called me Thursday saying I was denied….??????? I’m lost???
12:29 "Person had no idea why they (sic) were denied. Your dealer does not know why you were delayed or denied." Can the person who was denied learn why he was denied or delayed?
You can submit a request under the freedom of information act, otherwise they may never let you know. Never had that issue, but that's probably the only choice
You can be given a ref number and a contact number at the ATF to call. I had to provide a copy of my DD214 because the Army failed to fill out my digital paperwork properly, this has only come up once about 20 years ago, since then its always been an immediate approval.
Nanan00 have them give you a transaction number. No you cannot call them, you have to do it all online. They only rely on fingerprints so I suggest you get fingerprints ASAP. And at the same time request a UPIN. I went through this and it worked for me
if u are delayed alot or denied and dont know why you can file an appeal with the atf and they will give u a form that u take with u to your next purchase where the dealer can submit it with ur background check that will clarify your info. sometimes its because you have misdemeanor arrests or your info is close to a person who is prohibited that form is supposed to help with that. either way you have an opportunity to appeal it if they deny or delay you to much. just some stuff he didnt touch on.
Good video. I always get delayed. Four times this year I have been delayed. It's always the next morning and I can go pick up my gun. It's happened at Academy, a pawn shop and twice at a local gun store. Academy was done on a tablet and the others were filled out by hand forms. I don't have any tickets ever and my only criminal record is negotiating a Worthlessness Check in 1998. I don't have a very common name and last name combo. I think it could possibly be that my brother is a felon x2. One of his felonies was actually manslaughter. It was a stabbing and not firearm related. He is just a year and a half older than me and we look decently similar to each other. There are people all in my family that have various felonies also. Nothing firearm related again but I have always thought maybe that's why I'm delayed 24 hours every time. Maybe they are just taking a better look at information
I have my permit in ny and sometimes I'm in and out and other times I get delayed. Either way when buying a pistol once you pass your NICS, you have to take your receipt down to the county pistol permit office and add the gun to your license, once you do that you have to go back to the store and pick up the firearm. Its a ridiculous process
Purchased a firearm online .. If the original pawnshop tries to hold the firearm after 5 days Can you get it transferred to another pawnshop & redo the background check process through them ?
At this point I believe it is the FFL dealer Cal Ranch stores I'm dealing with that is making me wait on my delay should I fill out another form with them or just cancel the transaction?
The Franklin gun shop in Franklin, TN. has over 6000 guns right now lol. A little pricey, but they have just about anything you'd want. A friend of mine paid $1700 after tax for a Volquartsen black mamba. He said that was actually the cheapest he found it.
I'm on my 2nd delay. At rural king they have a policy that they cannot sell a firearm with a delay response. So now I'm just in Limbo which is not right but seems like I can't do nothing about it
Last two guns I purchased (in April this year), the background checks took less than a minute. I purchased one on Friday, and the second on the next day (Saturday).
I just don’t understand. I passed 3 months ago for a pistol purchase. Yesterday I tried to buy an ak47, and got a delay. Nothing has changed. Why did it do that?
I am a DHS employee and have a state concealed carry permit and still would get denied because a person with my same name and DOB in another state who had been adjudicated mentally deficient. Even though my fingerprints showed I was not the same person, I was refused. I had to get a UPIN that took several months, but now it goes through right away.
I was denied even though I have previously been approved and legally own already.I know forsure I have no record or know that there is no reason to be denied.🤦 Do you have any advice on how to go about getting that fixed?
@@jennifercortez5089 Hi Jennifer. SO sorry to hear about your denial and I certainly feel your pain. I don't know what state you reside in, but you can file a Voluntary Appeal File (VAF) with the FBI. Go to this link to download the form: www.fbi.gov/file-repository/vaf-form-25.pdf You will also need to get fingerprinted with your local law enforcement office to provide prints along with your form. You can also apply to the FBI for UPIN which is a special number that you place on your from when you purchase a firearm that is unique to you and keeps you from being confused with whoever they are thinking you are. Good luck! It can take a year or maybe even more to get this all done.
I live in Indiana is there anything I can do to not get a delay every time? I have a lifetime carry permit & clean record. I’ve heard there’s a way but can’t find anything on how.
How do you fix your name in NICS? I was put on delay. I started the process of a rifle purchase on a Thursday. Was put into delay. After Friday, Tuesday, Wednesday waiting. Monday being labor day. I went up the following Thursday and completed the purchase. I now have the rifle at home. Here in South Carolina in July I completed the cwp. On July 31 I went and had my fingerprints and paperwork processed electronically. On Sept 18th 2024, I received my cwp permit. So I know I'm good. But how do you clear your name with NICS? As I been told here in SC, once I got my cwp. I still have to fill out 4473. But with having the cwp, regardless of what nics says. I can complete the sale and take my firearm home. I just want to know how do you clear NICS? I also hold a CDL A license with hazmat. And everything I renew my hazmat, both federal and state run the background. So NICS, holding me on delay, doesn't make sense. I have been through several background checks.

That’s one thing that sucks in New Hampshire. We’re a very gun friendly, constitutional carry state, BUT there is absolutely no way to get around having to take a background check for each and every purchase
That was a good job explaining all of that. You can also get held up if you forgot to change your address on your ATF Form 4!

Chris, this was an excellent explanation of the NICS system. You explained it very thoroughly. Semper Fi, TreeTop
In Florida, you still have to wait until your NICS goes through and then you can walk out with it. No CCW permit and you have to wait the required days. I have found that, the earlier in the day you buy, the less the wait time is. By about mid-morning or just after noon, the wait time will go from, roughly 30 minutes, to up near 3-6 hours.
In Utah it's five minutes
I'm in Florida and I have been wanting for a month in pending status. I spoke to the dealer and he told me he had a person who had to wait three months before the FDLE gave the approval. Does this sound right? Thanks

Moral of the story Florida made it to where 3 days doesn’t matter anymore it’s up to them now and it’s sucks because I just got conceal just went in to buy ar-15 now this waiting bs mind you not I already waited 5 months to get my conceals due to basically decision pending they had to further investigate
Thank you for the very easy to understand explanation of how the NICS system works. Love your videos have a great day from Buffalo NY🇺🇸
So Cabela’s actually lied to me. They told me NICS held up the transfer for 12 days. First time I have ever been delayed in “many” purchases
@pcpolice I found it hard to believe that Cabela’s would lie to you. They have no reason to lie to you. They do not want ANYTHING to delay getting firearm into the customers hands.
You should see what it’s like trying to buy a firearm in California... it’s horrible
@John Smith “They don’t ever have 9mm ammo”.... that has to be one of the dumbest comments I have ever read on these RUclips videos. Congratulations.
Maybe NOW.... NOW THAT THERE IS A PANDEMIC... going on... in 2020. Nobody has ammo. Again, what a dumb comment.
Or more likely it's just that stores policy to not transfer until they a definitive answer. Find that hard to be with Cabelas but no idea what state your in. Also really trash because they have no 9mm? A whole shit load of places don't have 9mm or .223 or 5.56 right now and those that do are setting limits on it. I.E local shop has a 80 rounds of 5.56 a day limit per person. 9mm is a big nope unless your buying some for the indoor range. Though the way our state is going that will probably be closed down now due to mandates.
BOB+RAYGUN+PIPE=X-DAY(1995) Cabela’s IS a FFL. They do the transfers
Alan T They didn’t want to tell me that it is store policy to hold it until they get a definitive go. They lied and said NICS was holding. NOT TRUE. Either that or just plain incompetence. I wasn’t dealing with the sharpest tool in the shed
I'm in Oregon, have a CCL, bought a couple guns at 2 different times, cleared in minutes. Next gun I bought went to delay for 2 weeks, then clear. Next 2 guns I bought the background check cleared in minutes. Next purchase went to delay for 30 days, then cleared. Bought another gun no problem, 30 days later bought another and am now intto week 2 of delay.
You're buying from the wrong place.

Good Video!!!! I ordered a Pistol,a month ago,during the down side of the panic buying,from a Large On-Line Retailer.It was shipped to my FFL and I had it in 8 Business Days. It took longer to fill out the 4473 than to get approved!!!!! I walk'd out of the Gun Shop in less than 20 minutes,WITH MY NEW PISTOL!!!!! He did say that most people are hung up for some reason and that they really must like me.I'll say,It felt really good walking out with my new toy.I actually thought that I might have to wait for It,after hearing about all of the HOOPLA.OF COURSE I'M NOT A FIRST TIME GUN BUYER EITHER!!!!!
Been delayed 3 times this year. Never had this happen. I'm 36,been buying guns since I was 18....but 2020 has been the 1st year I've been delayed(3 times)
This is my first time and was denied. It is a total infringement of our 2nd amendment rights.
Same for me and I'm 59, forty years of walking out with a new freedom stick in 15 minutes .... 2020 and "Delayed" is the new normal ...
@@tommyg2966 everyone I know has been delayed this year
Got delayed and said "what the fuck" guy standing next to me waiting for his to go through also got delayed and said the same thing.
Same here and I even have stamps. Who knows what’s going on
My lack of funds is blocking me 😫
But I have what I "need" right now thankfully.
Good for you!
I’m in the same boat. I have a double stack 40, a double stack 9, and a marlin 30-30. I guess I have what I need. Although I feel like I need an AR soon because the election is gonna cause problems.
No need for all if this with my License to Carry in TX. Picked up 4 in the last few weeks. Took about 5 minutes for each if them. 😃
Same here in Louisiana
My record in WI is 4:44 for a stripped AR lower. I start the timer when I walk in the door and stop it when I walk out. Of course, I knew exactly what I went in there for. I filled out the paper work, paid, and walked out. Clean living pays off.
@@timothyschmeling2341 What happens if the gun store is busy and you have to wait in line? Wouldn't that theoretically throw off your system of tracking the actual time it takes?
Exactly. I waited in line longer than it took to fill out the paperwork and paying for the gun.
Go Texas!
Very informative video Chris. Would be cool if you did a video on NFA items, the process for silencers and such since they're becoming more popular, form 1's, form 4's, trusts vs individual, paper vs e-file, etc...
Thanks for explaining this. If I decide to buy again all I have to do is show my CCW and I'm good to go.
Me too you have to go the right place
I find the process goes faster for me since I have a CCW, and present it anytime I purchase a firearm.
No NICS required here in Kansas if you have a CCP. Still have to fill out the 4473, but no NICS.
@@cephasmartin8593 Same in Minnesota.
@David Kuykendall Kansas also has Constitutional Carry, but I still got my CCP because 1) it's good in 39 states, and 2) no NICS, which can sometimes take 15 to 20 minutes. Another advantage here in Kansas is that your CCP is your driver's license number and if you're stopped they know you're probably carrying and they also know you're a law abiding citizen. The LEO's I've talked to like people who have their CCP because they feel they can trust them. I was stopped once and I had 4 pistols and 2 long guns in my pickup. I was never asked about firearms and was told to have a good day.
Found in Virginia that having a CCW slows the approval process.
48 years old, never been arrested, ALWAYS get put on delay. Really sucks ☹️

Same thing. I’m an Army vet with with an Honorable Discharge and I always get delayed

Waiting in Ca. 28 days in review?
Bunch of BS!
I’ve never been denied but I’ve been delayed. I bought a Mosin over a decade ago and as I drove home I thought about the buy I got it was under $100; once I got home I threw the gun in the safe and went back. I bought another from the same store and was delayed; it blew the mind of both me and the associate as he was the one that called me in maybe 20 minutes before, when I passed. I said not a big deal and drove home; when I walked in I gad a message on the machine that it went through and I was good to go. I went back and picked it up and was glad the store was only maybe 6 miles away as if it was much further I would have been more annoyed. I’m a LEO that’s been printed and investigated a few time for different agencies and licenses and have only had thus one issue in quite a few purchases. The easiest time though I’ve ever had was having a Glock shipped to my agency; I called the county clerk and had the gun added to my pistol permit and they mailed me the updated permit. This was a few years back, NY has gotten tougher in the last few years; not that NY was ever 2A friendly.
Thank goodness I have my concealed carry license. I fill out the 4473, hand the dealer my drivers license, concealed carry license, pay, and walk out with my firearm.
I live in Missouri.wish it was like that here,I am delayed every other purchase.
That is how it is here in Iowa. If you buy a gun at a big box store, their store policy may require a NICS check. But it isn't required. My local gunshop checks the County website to see if my permit is valid...if so..👍good to go
@@HK-qj4im that would be cool.
Curious if your state has legalized recreational or medical marijuana use. I’m in Michigan. Have had my CPL for 15 years. That’s counted as a background check until this past year. Feds found marijuana users with CPL’s slipping through the cracks. They reached out to the state with a list of illegal purchases and the state was directed to no longer accept CPL as an adequate background check.
Since then all 3 of purchases this year have been delayed. Never once used marijuana.
@@wrxified I'm in Arkansas. We are just now getting "medical" pot. Which I think is for the most part a farce. Just like in the prohibition there was medical alcohol available with a prescription. Just stepping stones to becoming a recreational drug. But for the moment, at least here, if you have a pot prescription, you lose your concealed carry license. Any time Uncle Sam says "we're going to give you something" there's always a hook in it somewhere.
Thanks for sharing these important details about a delay reply from the Federal Government.
I bought a gun about 2 weeks ago. Background check took 15 minutes or so. Will be picking up another firearm next week. Hopefully it’s about the same. Fingers crossed.
In Florida even though I have a carry permit they still do NCIS check every time. Only benefit when purchasing is there is no waiting period for a hand gun if you have a carry permit. I have been delayed as long as 24 hours before. Pain in the butt.
Getting my carry soon not soon enough
I work for an ffl in Nevada. Here, we go through state to clear nics. Process used to be about a 5 minute hold on the phone and you'd get your response. This year it's been a challenge just to get on the phone with them. In March April 2 weeks of constant attempts without getting through. Or you would get through and on hold for 7 hours only to be disconnected. I have found out there are only 3 employees on duty at a given time, hence the delays. Initially we tried faxing but 60 apps were lost.
Even now the average to get on the phone if you can is a 4 hour hold. It has calmed enough where we can fax again and they respond within 2 to 3 business days.
Took me 20 months in NY to get first hand gun. CCW. When I went to get permit, county clerk asked how long it took bc judges to them not to have anyone call with “how much longer until 18 months!”
I was told by 2 seperate FFLs in Texas that during the pandemic buying frenzy NICS had actually extended the 5 day period for a couple of weeks. I was not delayed it was just in conversation. I wonder if perhaps NICS was just intimidating the dealers into thinking they could hold it up and the FFLs wanting not to be accused of breaking a rule and losing their income didn't question it.
Lots of old guard feds retiring and communist infused college graduates filling into federal agencies. Im not surprised at all.
If you have a valid LTC or CCW, you don’t need a background check. Don’t let people lie/bully you into thinking you do 🙌
stop the infingment.
Florida is a point-of-contact state so we can't use NICS directly. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement runs our checks. Problem is that they *do* hold up some records checks. I have several that have been on hold since March. Longest one I have seen is 7-months. Florida eliminated the 3-day release in 2018. So we can't release a firearm until FDLE completes and approves the background check (aka "green lighting"). ATF says the 30-day expiration of the 4473 starts when FDLE renders an approval decision, not the day the person signed the 4473.
I live in California and it sucks thanks for the video.👍👍👍
Stocked up after the Obama shortage in 2012, glad I did.
my uncle is a sheriff and has to wait a day every time and i can go in and get one right away?
My name is Brian Smith so I never get to take my firearm home the same day. It usually takes 2-3 days. It sucks!
There's only 1 other person in the world with my name yet I've never been approved instantly
At least it's not John Smith.
Could be worse could be John Dough and someone is calling it in so it sounds like John Doe. I'm sure the FBI would take forever on that one.
My name isn't common, but having lived in california for 30+ years (Arizona now) i've been delayed on EVERY FFL purchase.
What part of "shall not be infringed" do they not understand?
A friend of mine was a gunsmith so he had an FFL. ATF told him he could deny the sale of any firearm for any reason OR no reason. If he "Felt funny" about someone that was cause enough not to proceed with the sale.
My "gun guy" explained to me that the more common name you have, the greater chance you have of being denied or held up. Being my name is so very rare and my name is already in the fed's data base, I never have an issue.. Just something to think about.. Keep the good vids coming. Look forward to them.
My name is very, very common..My name is Juan Gonzalez..and it is crazy how much that name comes up just here in Ohio let alone the whole country. I just tried to buy a 45 pistol..paid for it..waited like an hr. Got denied!
I don't have domestic violence on my record, nor any felonies..just some weed and bowl charges but that has been over 5 yrs ago, really about 6-7 yrs ago.
I went to get my prints done at BCIS...then went court house to get a back ground check from sheriff or whatever. I still got denied!! I don't understand. The mother of my children died about 7 yrs ago and I went to court for my kids who ended up going with their grandmother because I didn't have the means and resorces to take them even though I didn't want it that way. I remember the judge wanted me to get a drug screening and mental health evauation if I wanted my kids, but It was a moot point as I wasn't in a position to take them. Did that mess me up???
I got the paper from the sheriff says something on my record..but didn't tell me....I just don't know what the heck I'm held up for. I'm 42 and this was my very first attempt to buy a gun. What the heck is going on. The gun dealer gave me the stuff/papers to appeal. But I just don't know why it got denied?? Can anyone out here in comments figure what it could be??..or is it just a defunct system and I'm just being jammed up like some of the comments I'm reading here?
@@johncarlwaton9620 Terrible news. It depends on what state you live in also. Each one is unique.
I am a CPL holder, and I was just delayed for a shotgun...dealer gave me a 10 day period to get it if I don’t get a answer, but I’m in Michigan and it’s still a 3 business day waiting period. Why would he say 10 days? Makes me think it’s some sort of discrimination
Bought 2 pistols, 1 rifle in the last months, online gun stores charged my credit card without shipping them until 4 weeks later and with 2 follow up calls, all 3 were with cut off capacities to not over 10 bullets for my pistols and an ar 15 in New Jersey, no suppressors, no bayonet lugs allowed, bought 2 more, one revolver, 1 shotgun in the last weeks, still awaits for them to ship, no bullup shotguns are complaints in NJ if they are semi with mags, all 3 bought took 3 days to clear Nicks, 2 trips to the same store for each gun, these experiences are among the worst purchasing experiences, waited longer than buying a house!
In Georgia where I live, if you go through the process of getting a concealed carry permit...during which you get a pretty extensive background check...then you don't have to undergo a NICS check at point of purchase. You just select a firearm, fill out your portion of the 4473, pay, and leave with your purchase. If you don't have a carry permit, you undergo the NICS background check...which usually just takes a matter of minutes. Now here in Georgia the carry permit procedure's price varies some around the State, but my cost is around 85 bucks. Around twelve years ago prior to me getting a permit, dealers charged 5 bucks for the instant check......don't know what it is now. It does upset me to have to pay for a permit to exercise my Constitutional right. I haven't heard people getting charged to exercise their freedom of speech, religion etc.
Usually carry permits seem to make the process a little smoother and luckily my local gun shop gives discounts to people with a carry licenses 😎
Kinda funny theirs a lot more qualified people to own a weapon then those who think their gonna play hero someday with a ccwp and use their firearms in a shootout defensively most are gonna shit their pants and the other half aren’t going to know where the shots are coming from unless it’s a distictive shooter most people don’t have the proper training of people actually shooting at you I’d prefer to take cover and let the police figure it out even if I’m carrying I’m not going to be obligated to inject myself into a hero situation and make it harder for the police and potentially end up dead unless someone is deliberately pointing a weapon at me and at that point most people are kinda screwed especially if it’s past the 30 ft rule anyways because dude pulling the trigger is much quicker then you drawing your weapon
I was just denied never even had cuffs put on me. Now I have to appeal
Hey man. I wasn't denied but I was decision pending in florida. I was arrested but the state didn't pick up the charges. I sent my final disposition of charges to fdle. Florida dept of Law enforcement. How long has your appeal taken?
I thought you only get denied it you have felonies not if you have been arrested.
@@fernandoaispuro159 I think certain misdemeanors will get a person denied as well. I was denied and called the number provided to the FBI to find out why. They told me it was something on my background from 30 years ago, but wouldn't tell me what it was unless I paid them for that information. I KNOW I never had a felony. I was so embarrassed, I never attempted to buy again. This was only a shotgun too.
@@chrisbrady8186 yah - i think misdemeanor possession will definitely get you - and also if it happened to be a misdemeanor that has a potential of more than 1 year in prison as a charge (even if you didn't serve time - just if it's possible to be sentenced to that for you what you did) - which is kind of nuts because some states allow for several year sentences for misdemeanor crimes. I also believe some states disclose mental health and drug rehabilitation treatment records to their own databases and if you happen to be in a state that checks both NICS and state databases, that will prohibit you.
@@davidkeetz misdemeanor possession could get you , under " unlawful user or addicted to any control substances.".. what i read on atf is like " a conviction for controlled substance in the last year, or multiple arrest in five years, with the most recent one being within the last year can be used to infer current unlawful use. So you were convicted of misdemeanor possession, it be a year befors you could purchase

Interesting you mentioned dealers calling customers to whome they did a transfer for which were later denied by NICS. It is my understanding the ATF sends agents physically to the denied person's residence to retrieve the firearm.

I live in New Jersey. I am currently in the process of purchasing my hand gun. I am now in week three. I purchased online and my local FFL just received the weapon yesterday. I had to pass two previous background checks just to get to the pint where my local FFL has to submit ANOTHER check. Yup, that's three background checks for NJ.
I've literally purchased hundreds of firearms in my life and NICS approved me every time ... Then came 2020 ... I've been "delayed" on every purchase ... I'm typically buying a lower receiver because I build ... Perhaps it's time to drill 2 holes and go ghost gun ....
Tommy G get a UPIN. You may have a common name.
Same, never been delayed until 2020
You do realise those 80%s litterally need a serial number on them right lmfaoo same for p80s and any other firearm made by a private individual
I would assume that if the background check goes from open to denied any customer returns the firearm to your store that you would give them a refund. What about if the person does not return the firearm and the ATF has to pay them a visit to collect it, does the ATF return it to your store or do they keep it in their evidence procedures, and if the ATF returns it to your store do you then give the customer a refund?
No lol it’s gone brotha
Literally every time I go and buy a gun my background check gets delayed every single time it pisses me off

How long do you usually wait?
@@jonl9801 it's usually like a little over week before they call me to tell me it's good
In Delaware there isn't a mandatory wait, but they allow NICS 25 days of research. The FFL cannot transfer until after 25 days .
Very informative. They may want to change it from "Instant" to "Indefinite"
Have purchased many guns, never a delay or problem....until the last one...found a Marlin 60 .22lr in a pawn shop...filled out the paperwork...since the SS# is optional, I decided I would leave it off...called in...put on delayed status and was told by the pawn shop employee I would need to come back in 3 days. Then the next morning, pawn shop called and said come in and pick up your rifle, you are cleared! I fully believe if I had filled in my SS#, I would have been immediately approved. So don't believe that crap about SS# being optional! If you want the gun that day, fill it out!

I was just denied for the first time ever, after filling out the 4473 on a f***ing computer...could this be a factor?
I’ve never been delayed in my life. I’ve made at least 50-60 gun purchases in my life and it wasn’t until last week when I bought a Glock 48 and an ar lower it got delayed. Came back clean two days later but I found it odd since it’s never happened
Same thing here. I think it's the fact that NICS is processing record numbers of firearm transactions.
Same here. Bought a Glock for my wife 5 weeks ago and was out the door with the firearm within an hour from walking in. Bought a G3 for myself last week and they put a 3 business day hold on me. I’ve never had an issue in 30 years until last week. I’m in a state where anyone over 21 that’s “clean” can concealed carry without any kind of permit.
Mike Smith kinda late, but you may want to delete or edit you post. (Hint: straw purchase)
I've purchased hundreds of firearms over my lifetime, I've only been delayed once.
Jetta Red it’s a gift. We’ve each bought firearms for each other and our sons as gifts for years. There’s a federal exemption for family members
Delayed 30 days and I was told I have to go through the entire process again. I do live in Indiana. A bad system and one that is against my right to own a gun. I have a clean record!
You need to talk about permanent residence. We are automatically put on hold or delay. I have lived in the US for 25 years as a permanent resident from Canada. Every time I go to buy a gun I'm on delay. I've checked the forms and read up and it's because I'm a permanent resident. I don't have a problem with that but you need to make a video about it.
I got denied yesterday
With my GC. Not one single problem with the law.

I bought a gun about two months ago from a licensed pawn shop dealer. I got delayed initially and was able to get my gun. However, I didn’t pick it up in time within 30 days, so I had to fill out the background form again. In total 3 times for this purchase… still was able to get the gun, no problems. Just tried to buy another gun this week, and they called me Thursday saying I was denied….??????? I’m lost???
THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING ME WITH INFO IN INDIANA. PLEASE DONT GO DARK ON RUclips. INDIANA NEEDS YOU
12:29 "Person had no idea why they (sic) were denied. Your dealer does not know why you were delayed or denied." Can the person who was denied learn why he was denied or delayed?
Yes, they give you a "ref #" and a # to call to find out why you were denied...so I've heard.
You can submit a request under the freedom of information act, otherwise they may never let you know. Never had that issue, but that's probably the only choice
You can be given a ref number and a contact number at the ATF to call. I had to provide a copy of my DD214 because the Army failed to fill out my digital paperwork properly, this has only come up once about 20 years ago, since then its always been an immediate approval.
Nanan00 have them give you a transaction number. No you cannot call them, you have to do it all online. They only rely on fingerprints so I suggest you get fingerprints ASAP. And at the same time request a UPIN. I went through this and it worked for me
Here in Oregon, it is taking 3 to 4 days, even with a carry permit.
He is correct. Most of the Fed databases look at name and DOB first. If nothing pops up then you are good to go.
if u are delayed alot or denied and dont know why you can file an appeal with the atf and they will give u a form that u take with u to your next purchase where the dealer can submit it with ur background check that will clarify your info. sometimes its because you have misdemeanor arrests or your info is close to a person who is prohibited that form is supposed to help with that. either way you have an opportunity to appeal it if they deny or delay you to much. just some stuff he didnt touch on.
My gun game in and they denied me never been arrested or in any trouble i am so mad
Question so does the ffl have to have insurance for that specific open in order to release firearm to customer .
Always get delayed 100% for 12 years Texas . I get proceed inside two days ?
Good video. I always get delayed. Four times this year I have been delayed. It's always the next morning and I can go pick up my gun. It's happened at Academy, a pawn shop and twice at a local gun store. Academy was done on a tablet and the others were filled out by hand forms. I don't have any tickets ever and my only criminal record is negotiating a Worthlessness Check in 1998. I don't have a very common name and last name combo. I think it could possibly be that my brother is a felon x2. One of his felonies was actually manslaughter. It was a stabbing and not firearm related. He is just a year and a half older than me and we look decently similar to each other. There are people all in my family that have various felonies also. Nothing firearm related again but I have always thought maybe that's why I'm delayed 24 hours every time. Maybe they are just taking a better look at information
I have my permit in ny and sometimes I'm in and out and other times I get delayed. Either way when buying a pistol once you pass your NICS, you have to take your receipt down to the county pistol permit office and add the gun to your license, once you do that you have to go back to the store and pick up the firearm. Its a ridiculous process
Yeah I think Jethro Gibbs had something to do wi.... Oh wait...never mind....
Yeah I miss read that to.
can you upload a video on getting your FFL?
Purchased a firearm online .. If the original pawnshop tries to hold the firearm after 5 days Can you get it transferred to another pawnshop & redo the background check process through them ?
At this point I believe it is the FFL dealer Cal Ranch stores I'm dealing with that is making me wait on my delay should I fill out another form with them or just cancel the transaction?
Have made 5 purchases since March. One never got a response so it was released. I’ve got another currently delayed.
The Franklin gun shop in Franklin, TN. has over 6000 guns right now lol. A little pricey, but they have just about anything you'd want. A friend of mine paid $1700 after tax for a Volquartsen black mamba. He said that was actually the cheapest he found it.
Got delayed today. Most recent firearm purchase was last year. Nothings changed. Very frustrating
If you buy a gun online when does the 3 day period start? From the date of sale or when you go to pick it up at theFLL retailed?
Thank you for the explanation.A very helpful video.
Mark, did you sell one of the old guards? I only see two behind you today.
I'm on my 2nd delay. At rural king they have a policy that they cannot sell a firearm with a delay response. So now I'm just in Limbo which is not right but seems like I can't do nothing about it

I am a DHS employee and have a state concealed carry permit and still would get denied because a person with my same name and DOB in another state who had been adjudicated mentally deficient.

You can also apply to the FBI for UPIN which is a special number that you place on your from when you purchase a firearm that is unique to you and keeps you from being confused with whoever they are thinking you are. Good luck! It can take a year or maybe even more to get this all done.
I did the background check accidentally put the wrong address can I go back a few days later and do it all over again with the correct address
What if you got a felony case but all charges get dropped what does that make you eligible or not eligible
Can you do a check online for yourself and find out if there is a problem?
@deucedeuce22oz LOL!!
In Indiana it takes 15-45 mins on average. Plan for it. The only one that took an hour was the Hatsan for some reason.
I live in Indiana is there anything I can do to not get a delay every time? I have a lifetime carry permit & clean record. I’ve heard there’s a way but can’t find anything on how.
How do you fix your name in NICS? I was put on delay. I started the process of a rifle purchase on a Thursday. Was put into delay. After Friday, Tuesday, Wednesday waiting. Monday being labor day. I went up the following Thursday and completed the purchase. I now have the rifle at home. Here in South Carolina in July I completed the cwp. On July 31 I went and had my fingerprints and paperwork processed electronically. On Sept 18th 2024, I received my cwp permit. So I know I'm good. But how do you clear your name with NICS? As I been told here in SC, once I got my cwp. I still have to fill out 4473. But with having the cwp, regardless of what nics says. I can complete the sale and take my firearm home. I just want to know how do you clear NICS? I also hold a CDL A license with hazmat. And everything I renew my hazmat, both federal and state run the background. So NICS, holding me on delay, doesn't make sense. I have been through several background checks.
