I've haven't purchased many new guns from dealers in my life so I've only ever done 2 background checks. 1st one was 9 years ago. I got delayed but after the waiting period I picked up my gun with no issues. Fast forward to today. I went to get my new M&P Shield that I ordered 1.5 weeks ago and was again delayed.

What gives? I have no felonies. Only one misdemeanor for 1st offense DWI and that was there on my 1st one 9 years ago.

So why the delays? Is there anything I can do to stop getting delayed?

I'll hang up and listen.

Are you white?
Are you Christian?
Are you former military?
Are you conservative?

If yes to the above questions, then you're probably on a domestic terrorist watch list.

Any screw ups in your family with a name similar to yours?

Not that I know of. My father was an NOPD Officer, as was my Mom's Brother.

There aren't many other people in this area with my last name.

I feel your pain. I've had trouble with it in the past, but it seems to have cleared up.

You can get a pin number that will speed things up. Last I k ow it took like 6 months to get.

Do you put your ssn down?

CCL - find dealers that are following the ATF waiver, if issued after 5/9/15 you will have to fill out 4473 but no NICS is required

Used to get delayed every time. Get a concealed carry permit. Or whatever they are called in your area.

Already scheduled for a class on Jan 2nd.

Does having a CCL bypass a background check?

Side note: Have a fellow range officer and coworker giving the class in Covington if anyone on the Northshore needs to take a class. He's got room for more in this upcoming class.

Yes at most dealers, not sure why some still do it when it has been waived by the ATF

But on a serious note, the CCL comment may be good advice. I've made 3-4 purchases via a vendor since aquiring my CCL and they come back instantly. I have a very common name also. So much so, I had a class at LSU with a guy with the same first and last name as me.

A buddy of mine was delayed for his shotgun. I have never had a delay.
The last gun I bought, I had my CC. I filled out the form, they did their part on the form, no call, gave them the money and I was out. 10 minutes in and out.
