I was told it was most likely due to having a TWIC card or a Security Passport. I have both. What is the purpose in placing a hold on someone who has already passed the additional scrutiny of a Homeland Security and FBI background check versus any Joe blow who can just walk in off the street and get instant approval?

The BATFE will be visiting you soon.

In all seriousness,

have nothing to do with the BATFE.

Ive passed background checks with LADWL&F and CCL, but still need to complete a 4473.

I've heard this as well, my buddy got delayed a couple of months ago, he has a TWIC and Security passport too.

But last year, when I purchased my first pistol on my 21st bday, I didn't get delayed, and I also had a TWIC and security passport at the time/still do.

Im going to be purchasing another pistol to conceal in the next couple of weeks, I hope I don't get delayed!

Box stores seem to be worse than mom and pop stores. No proof or evidence, just an observation.

Well from what I said in my previous post, completely supports your statement, he bought his from academy, and i got mine from barking irons, a really small local gun shop.

They see something in your background that needs additional checking. it will be forwarded to a atf agent who will look at it. it could be approved from 1 hr to them never calling back. If you had a concealed carry license issued August 2014 or later it does not have to be called in. If bought from academy they will only transfer it if they get called back with an approval. Corp policy will not let them transfer after the 3 day hold.

I agree with this, I've had a twice card since they were required. I've bought 7 or 8 guns since then probably haven't been delayed once.

On another note. I now have TSA pre screen.

If you fly a lot get it. It's awesome. You can do it at the TWIC office.
