Two days before Christmas my wife and I went to Cabelas to buy a shotgun for my grandson . I didn't have my glasses so she filled out the 4473 and showed them her concealed carry permit . Done deal . They even had some 45acp behind the counter so I picked up a couple of boxes . The whole process only took a few minutes . | |||

100% human. What I'm not certain of is whether it's actually a gov't employee or a hired 3rd-party consultant. EDIT: one thing that stretches out the process these days is a change in procedure at NICS. Gun buyers that used to have to go to a next-tier check (aka 'Further Review') under the old system now automatically gets a 'Delay' classification. Under the old system that phone-in process would get kicked up to the next level NICS examiner while we then wait on hold until their determination is made or they run out of allotted time and hit whatever 'delay' button it is that they have at their computer console. Additionally, as time passes and those red flags roll off of a person's record, so goes away those customary 'delayed' checks. So what seems like random extensions by NICS really isn't. This revamped policy was put into place just before the holiday season of 2019 if I remember correctly. Last year through the Rona times we've had 'delays' that have been as little as under an hour to no returning response from NICS, which means an approximately two-week wait (ten M-F business days) for the buyer per WA state law as opposed to 3-business days then release for the Feds. All of it contingent on just how much of a "bad person" or a "person of questionable character" the buyer has been in their past. -MG | |||

first-time gun buyers accounted for approximately 20 percent of gun sales in 2019 Then in 2020, again about 20 % of gun purchasers were first time buyers Of the first-time buyers recorded in 2020, half were women , a fifth were Black and a fifth were Hispanic https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...s-last-year-n2590280 | |||

Went through 2 background checks in the last month. Used my CCP as ID and was approved and out the door in 20 minutes for one, maybe 5 minutes for the other. My wife has a friend from her church that decided she was out in the country, and a good distance from the closest neighbor so she bought a shotgun. She was 5000 something, that's 5000. A week later she was around 1000. Need to check on her to see if it finally got processed. | |||

So, are we seeing all these new gun-owners showing up at ranges? Endowment Life Member, NRA • Member of FPC, GOA, 2AF & Arizona Citizens Defense League | |||

Only if they can get ammo! If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

Blacks make up 12.6% of the population, 16.9% are Hispanics; so the numbers above are a little higher than the population for Hispanics, and a lot higher for Blacks. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

I'm amazed that Oregon waits so long to run folks, guessing understaffed? or buy design? numbers n VA had dropped a bit over the past few months, I can only look back 28 days or so , and there were 18600+ transactions in that time frame, https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

Some people are so stupid they're beyond help. He actually thinks that people are going to go to the lengths to legally buy a firearm with a background check so they can commit crime? _____________ | |||

Oregon here. 2 months back bought a Classic Browning .22 pistol. I thought I'd have at least one birthday while waiting (given the recent news stories). They ran my concealed carry permit, did fingerprints, and whoosh, it was super fast. (OK, not super fast, but faster than I thought) | |||
