re: Buying a gun- pending approval?

After so many days, stores can choose to proceed if they have not received a denial. My understanding is that Academy is not one of those stores. If they don't get a proceed, they won't sell and you could end up having to move on to another store.

I had this experience at Academy. Checked with the store every couple days. After 30 days they said I would have to start the process over. When I asked what the deal was the guy confirmed the above. They will not sell until they get the approval. He suggested I go to another store like Cabela's, etc. I ended up buying from Jim's in BR. This was 4 years ago
