Instant Check Snafu
The last three guns I have purchased The instant Check came back with (Waiting for more information) The one at Wal-Mart dragged on for 30 days and the we were told the application had expired but if I re-applied we would get the same answer. The seller may sell to me after 72 hrs (weekends not included) but the seller does not "Have to complete the sale".WM and a lot of Sporting good stores will not sell unless they receive a O K from BTAF.Many of our Politicians see the instant check as a very minor hindrance in the purchase of a gun;in my case it prohibits me from purchasing a gun! Not the way it is supposed to work. I have written to NRA and was told there was nothing they could do. How many of you have had a problem like this? Ron

Thanks for the update.
Glad it worked out for you.
Too bad you have to go through this UNCONSTITUTIONAL (%*$%* [:(!]

There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for them to take that long to process your Un-Constitutional paperwork. If you come into my gun shop and don't raise any red flags with me personally, I will transfer the firearm on the 5th business day with or without the ATF's approval.0 -

I can half way see a type of NICS to see if ones Constitutional right has been revoked but that's it.I know of an easy way to tell if someone's Constitutional right has been revoked.....If they're standing in front of you it's not because they are not in jail/prison.

HPD gets it. Why is the concept so hard?
Just trying to be realistic, the only way to get our rights back is do regain the m the same way they were lost, small incremental steps.
All of the gun laws on the books are unconstitutional since they violate the due process clause of the 14th amendment by revoking ones rights that are protected by the 2nd Amendment without the due process of law. If I could wave a magic wand and undo all the damage done by idiotic politicians I would but since I don't have said wand I have to go with the best thing I have available which is incrementalism to turn back the damage.
I hope that clears up my point a little better0 -
Eric, Why would you need to wait until the 5th day? It is my understanding that after 72 hrs.(not including Holidays or weekends) you can sell if there is no dis-approval from NICS Ron 0 -
I believe it is because the first day when you originally go for the check doesn't count. Add 3 full days(72 hrs) and the 5th day Eric has fulfilled the required wait period. 0 -

This is correct. The first day doesn't count...The ATF actually provides you with a chart showing what day of the week you can legally transfer on after getting a delay. It works out to 5 business days.0
