Was told my background check was delayed and I could pick gun up on the 28th. I have bought guns my entire life and this has never happened. I’m pissed about it!

They're gonna call you back and ask for your TD screen name before they can complete the check.

Buy a shotgun, not an AR-14

Why do you need a background check for a shotgun?

My co-worker went to buy a rifle at lunch and his got delayed as well. Wonder if there's a lot of volume on the NICS system right now.

The last pistol I bought, I just showed them my enhance concealed carry ID and they didn't even do a background check.

That's it exactly. I believe you immediately get good (or not) with your state, but the feds are seriously backed up. However I think they only have a certain amount of days to get it done (feds) and if they don't....you pick up your gun on the appointed date regardless.

A double barrel at that, not one of those tactical ones that hold a bunch of rounds. Two shots in the air and they’ll flee.

Make sure you're not a turrist (watch list I assume) or a felon are a couple items to check.

You bought from a shitty shop. Probably was approved in about 10 minutes.

This is a new law? Because I picked up one at a Wal Mart in Alabama on the way home from my Katrina evacuation.

Why buy it now when Biden and his boy Beto are just going to take it away next year?
