Question for the OB FFLers. During times of high volume purchasing or after high profile events have you noticed an uptick in NICS background check delays?

I receive a proceed more often than not but have been delayed a handful of times. No rhyme or reason, I’ve got immediate proceeds at big box stores and delayed (usually a day) through a local FFL.

The reason I ask is because I most recently got delayed at Academy. I had some gift cards to use and figured why not. I recently learned that Academy policy does not mirror the “Brady Date” 3 day hold provisions and they will not release any firearm without a proceed.

I realize this is all probably nothing to worry about and Ill probably get the G2G soon, but with all the craziness going on I was wondering if there was an uptick in delays or the delay periods were getting longer.

Thanks OB.

Several gun purchases in past month or so. None were delayed.

Get a CHL license and no need for the NICS background check.

Yeah. Really walking a tight line when it comes to 2A issues.

Bonus: Got a proceed yesterday and they never bothered to call. Got the gun in hand today.
