Quoted:
I was at Cabela's Marysville today and they had several signs posted that the NICS was down and not able to allow customers to take their firearm purchase home same day. I asked a person I know in law enforcement and they stated that the FBI was upgrading the software and it broke the system. Anyone here know anything else regarding this? There was a massive delay, but I didn't see anything listed on their website saying down for maintenance. Took about an hour and a half to get some checks done this afternoon. Was weird because we started a couple at around 3:15PM. First one took about an hour, the second one took about an hour and twenty. In the meantime, we had a walk in come in around 4PM who took about a minute. |

This past Monday is when the NICS update was rolled out and they have had problems with it. On Tuesday I had a transfer to do with my "in home" dealer and I got my first ever "Delay" status. And in that status it stays to this day! I don't discount the possibility of my guy screwing something up, but I'm still waiting since Tuesday to get my rifle. On that same day, my friend was picking up a rifle from a different dealer and he had to wait about 30 minutes but never go a formal "delay".

Bought a new lower today. Took 45 minutes but no delay. The guys at the shop said it has been hit or miss lately.

It's been inconsistent since the new NICS site. A couple times I've seen it take a couple hours, other times it has been nearly instant. Online and over the phone.

Took maybe 10m on Thursday. Not instant, but not horrendous either.

I've done two E-Checks since Saturday. Both were instantaneous. The new E-Check website layout was developed by a 92 year old blind guy who has never seen a computer before though....

What stood out to me was the "height" field. A single field with no prompts as to the format that was wanted or the units. Inches? Cm? Feed in decimal? Or what my guy put in there (it was his first on the new system): 511 Rob |

So 5' 9" is "509", 6' 2" is "602", etc. |

Wife and I were at Adventure Sports in Lynnwood last Saturday and they were having problems with NICS as well.
