I bought a Benelli M2 20 gauge last Thursday and I cleared Monday. 2.5 business days. This was in South Dakota. Been wanting to get my Gold card so I can forego all the BS. Was planning on this spring, but the pandemic probably has it all screwed up as I have not heard from the instructor yet.

I wonder what percentage of these are new gun owners?
Maybe if enough new gun owners are getting on board, gun control is less likely to be palatable to our politicians.

Most everyone I saw in the shop didn't look or act like current gun owners. A full 50% were women who I'd guess were buying their first.

Just experienced a zero wait time transfer....Danny met me at I176 and 150 and we swapped money and ammo for a pistol.
Got back in our respective autos and went about our lives.

Massive amount of "first time" gun buyers minnysoda. Big shortage here of 9mm and 22 l.r.. This adds to the protection for the 2A in the future.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

In Kentucky, if you have a concealed carry permit, there is no background check. You pay your money and walk out with the gun. Makes having the permit worthwhile even if you don’t carry concealed.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Seattle made sure that this option was taken away from us when they passed I1639. I absolutely hate and despise Inslee and Ferguson. (our governor and attorney general)

My FFL got me done in about 45 minutes last night. He had no wait first thing yesterday morning. Less than 15 minutes for me this morning, took longer for me to fill out the Fed form than to get the approval.

Maybe a Colorado thing? I walked into my FFL transfer shop last week and walked out with the receiver they had for me in less than 15 minutes.
I always assumed since it was a Federal Firearms transfer all the states would have the same wait.

I had to wait 5 days a couple weeks ago for a rifle I bought... I always wonder why it is faster in some places than in others...

Biggest problem I've had is when you do the 4473 on the computer tablet. Seems like the BATF JERKS THEIR MEAT FOREVER. WHEN I go tp LGS and do one on paper it's 20 minutes max. MB

I have been getting delays on a bunch of NICS checks with some not clearing in 3 business days. I also read the checks this year just passed all of last year at about 13 million. Also, about 40% are first time buyers. That would be over 5 million citizens with clean records with a strong chance of voting against Ds.
H won the popular vote by a bit over 3 million votes, they say...
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Bought a flintlock last month. Yeah, a flintlock - here in NJ they're classified as a firearm. Six day wait for the NICS check.

I’ve bought a couple of AR15 lowers and 2 pistols the last 3 months. 10 minutes for most, one I had to wait on the gun counter guy to finish another sale to do my NICS check. Fifteen minutes later I was on my way home.
