Still waiting on my background check for a handgun purchase to go through the system. It's been 24hrs and it's still "delayed". This is at Sportsmans Warehouse for a Rossi Ranch Hand. I realize that right now gun purchases are at an all time high and we are having a gunshow in town this weekend but except for the last time, (two years ago a handgun purchase at Gander Moutain which didn't clear until the next morning, about 16 hours) I've always been approved within minutes, even when they used to call them in manually.
When I stopped by SW around 12pm they said mine was one of about a half dozen from yesterday that hadn't cleared yet and they had about that many from this morning that didn't go through right away. The clerk said about 1 out of every three or four we not going through within a few minutes. Said it had been that way since yesterday morning. None were being denied, just taking extra time and it didn't seem to make a difference as to what type of firearm was being purchased. Nothing has changed with me since the last purchase, no traffic tickets or anything. My CCW did expire and I haven't gotten around to renewing it yet but that shouldn't be an issue. Just wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same delays?
