Mainly curious... tried to buy a SBEII today and got delayed. Its been a while since i've tried to buy a gun, like probably 13-15 years. I can't remember if I got delayed or not back then.
I have nothing on my record and the company that i currently work for did as an extensive of a background check as you can do before they hire anyone and that was just a year ago. Just annoying...

Is your last name ISIS?

Its not you, more than likely your name.
If you plan on buying guns you can apply for a pin number and you wont have to wait anymore.

Every other time I buy one I get delayed

Got delayed once at Jims. It would be damn near an hour away from home where I go probably 3 times a month. Frickers.

You passed that extensive background check, and you will likely pass the NICS check. It's just something came up that kept them from making a 2 minute decision on you.
I do all of my transfers using the NICS ezcheck system (online). Most of my clients come back instantaneously as 'proceed'. The one 'delay' I've had in the 2 months I have been doing it was for a guy who was a non-citizen.
As an FFL if I get a delay for a customer I have to wait until NICS calls and tells me it is OK...OR if I have heard anything back after 3 days I am free to release firearm to the customer. I guess in a effort to save time the NICS doesn't call to notify if it is OK, instead they let the 3 days run out. However, if you use the NICS ezcheck system you can see when the status changes to 'proceed', which in my one experience was in less than a day. Therefore I was able to get the firearm to the delayed customer after only 1 day. But anyway that's why there is a "3 day waiting period".

You have a TWIC? That will flag you on occasion.

I see people ask about it pretty frequently on here, so it must be pretty common....

Every time - but I am a Canadian citizen....

The last three guns I've bought have been delayed...guess theyre on to me.

Delayed, every time. Never denied.
Which is BS. You would think after once it would be on your record that you got the proceed green light after the first delay.
Eta: I'm prepared for it now and go in knowing I'll have to wait. It only sucks at gun shows if you want to buy something from a guy at a booth.

I've been delayed a few times. I think it's bc my dad pretty much buys a gun every week or two(no bs). I haven't been delayed since I moved and have a different address from him.
