Burns 16 Posted February 13, 2016 I am so glad I bought my last gun in Michigan, (this past Monday)NICs took all of 2 seconds. Sent from my XT1080 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob0115 1,105 Posted February 13, 2016 I am so glad I bought my last gun in Michigan, (this past Monday)NICs took all of 2 seconds. Sent from my XT1080 Same in FL yesterday. The problem is NJ doesn't have FFLs contact the fbi direct;y, thus the crap hours and turn around time. In FL you can get a NICS on a Sunday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aguilar64 9 Posted February 13, 2016 Today the wait at the store was about 1 1/2 hour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFamous 311 Posted February 13, 2016 My wife picked up her handgun on Wednesday and the NICS only took about 20-30 minutes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quickkill730 3 Posted February 14, 2016 They were backed up about 2 and half hours late Friday. The check didn't come back till sat afternoon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
average joe 5 Posted February 15, 2016 Not to hijack your thread, but why does the back round check in PA only cost $5. and is some states , if you have a CCW there is no NICS check at all. Another Jersey ripoff ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted February 16, 2016 Most states go direct to the fbi for NICS. NJ dealers go through the state to get the data. Dumb, bad service and fewer hours. Texas is one state I can think of that doesn't require NICS with a CCW. Florida has NICS but no waiting period with cwp. I bought a gun at a dealer midday Sunday and took it home.

magnawing 5 Posted February 16, 2016 I can attest to the TX reference...my last gun, I just filled out the 4473, showed my LTC, paid the man $10 for his transfer fee (He charges $15 if he has to run NICS) and walked out the door. This signature is AWESOME!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

InFamous 311 Posted February 16, 2016 I'm waiting for the PD to call and tell me my permits are ready to pick up. I have a VP9 sitting at Hackettstown Guns and Ammo waiting for me to come get. Guess it doesn't really matter they didn't call today cause I wouldn't have been able to bring it home regardless lol. Next day I can get there is Saturday morning so hopefully they'll be caught up by then cause I got my sons Birthday party at 1pm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

InFamous 311 Posted February 17, 2016 just got my approval 2 hours and 43 minutes Not as bad, hopefully I get the call for my permits and I can pick up my VP9 Saturday and the wait will be back down to 20ish minutes. I won't have a lot of time Saturday morning before my kids party. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatty 241 Posted February 18, 2016 I was told some NICS checks went thru fast, but some took a few hours. I guess maybe I got lucky? I'm sure it'll go back to normal soon. A lot of people are getting sick these days, which was part of the reason why my permits took a bit longer than expected. Maybe a person or two are out at the office Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PK90 3,569 Posted February 18, 2016 NJ NICS is a two day process. Fill out the 4473 one day, then return another within 30 days to pick up your item. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
