Question about gun background check
Posted on 7/13/16 at 4:01 pm

I purchased a gun online and they shipped it to a dealer. When I did my background Check , up to a 3 day hold was put on me. I have never been convicted of a crime, why would I have a hold?

It's the cooling off period so you don't buy a gun and shoot up a BLM protest in a fit of rage.

System overload.
Or, you're secretly a terrorist.

Good question. Buying a gun has never taken more than 15 minutes for me.

You could be delayed for any reason under the sun. They have 3 business days to approve or deny so you probably going to have to wait 3 business days. Hopefully they clear you up quickly.

I bought one from Arms Merchant in Mandeville about 8 years ago and I had to wait 3 days. They ran a background check, which I assumed was standard. Is the 3-day hold not normal? I thought that was a law.

They are reading all of your TD posts. Better start editing.

Was it your first time being background checked? Believe it or not, I just bought my first gun through a store this year at 31. (Have had guns passed down, given or bought off of friends) Never been arrested. I was put on three day hold as well, although it was about a week after the orlando shooting so that may or may not have had something to do with it.

If gun shops in LA are like they are in FL then I would have to assume the real answer is back log.

It's random, I've known people to purchase 3 guns and never get a hold and them bam they get a hold. As others have said I think it's more due to backlog or someone having a bad day and being a dick and giving people holds. I have never had a hold personally.

Here is everything you need to know straight from the FBI,
LINK
"When a firearm background check is initiated via the NICS E-Check if no matching records are returned by any of the databases, the transaction is automatically proceeded. If it is determined that prohibitive criteria exists, the NICS Examiner will deny the firearm transaction. If the NICS returns a match of the prospective firearm transferee’s descriptive information to that of record information located in any of the databases that is potentially disqualifying, the NICS Examiner delays the transaction. When the initial processing of the NICS E-Check transactions is completed, the NICS E-Check generates the status to be relayed electronically to the requestor. If the transaction is determined to be a delay, the pre-calculated date the requestor may transfer the firearm if no resolution is provided within three business days is also relayed. The NICS Examiner begins extensive research on the potential prohibitors located on firearm background checks delayed via the NICS E-Check. Upon completion of the research when a definitive status is determined, an electronic message is generated to the requestor for a PROCEED or DENY decision. When transactions are denied after the third business day, the requestor is contacted via telephone with the final status. "
