I was in there a couple weeks ago and pretty much walked right in, at the time I think only the gun sales were a little tricky, meaning maybe expect a bit of a wait.

There was a lady at the door and she ask me if I had a appointment? I told her I was there for the fishing sale they had going on, she said that firearms were still taking appointments but even without one they could probably get me in, there were no lines, store wasn’t anymore crowded than it would have been on any normal weekday, this was two weeks ago.

There was a line out the door for people buying guns.
If you were there for anything else, you were permitted entry immediately. |

Hebron location wasn't bad today. Busy, but not horrible
They're still doing appointments for the gun counter, and there was a spaced out line for people who wanted to checkout, but it only took me a little over 5min to go from the end of the line to a register |

They price matched Vances on a P365xl. And on a separate time, price matched Amazon on an UPLULA. This was at the Lewis Center store. I work close by so I stop in there once a week to watch for deals.

NEVER! Thats always been a issue with them, gun counter is SLOW, if Mr. Vance would actually go with the law and let CCW holders bypass the NCIS it'd speed up a bunch, but his business and his policies ans such, probably keeps his lawyers happy.... |

My son went to Obezt yesterday and bought a new handgun. took him 3 hours. This was his first handgun purchase so he stuck it out...
Me personally, I think Vances if doing other things with your gun purchase than just NICS. The NICS system is pretty fast. I think they are digging deeper locally just to keep them from any liability... No proof just a hunch.. |

No, the gun counter is not always slow, you need to go when no one else goes, like during an OSU football game.
I read a couple years ago that firearms sold by Vance Outdoors are the most frequently traced firearms in the entire USA. They're under a microscope so they're not going to take any shortcuts even if allowed by law. Vance Outdoors is moving into the distribution business ( Sportsmen's Outdoor Superstore ) which may be distracting them from their retail business. |

A few years ago I was told that Vance Outdoors is the largest volume firearms dealer East of the Mississippi. What else would you expect. Straw purchasers don't have STRAW PURCHASER tattooed on their forehead FFS. |

I was at Obetz store last night.. had a 5pm reserve time to pick up a gun. I get there at 450 pm and there i line of about 10 ppl at the door. I went up and asked if i had to wait as i had an appointment and was told yes. I said if i have to wait for an order i paid for and had an appointment for then I am leaving and will go buy somewhere else. He let me in. The had table set up to do 4473 at 3 computers. once done there if you had an appointment you went to 1 line and if not you went to another line that had about 20 ppl waiting. I went up and got helped right away. Still took me about an hour or so to get the gun and check out. lots of ppl still waiting in line when i left.
Submit A guy ahead of me was in there on monday and was there for 5 hours and then had to leave and come back to finish process. He said background check were taking forever. |

Every time I’ve bought a gun from Vance’s they go above what is required.
I’ve also seen them shut down a sale because a girl was looking at a gun, and then the guy gives her the money to pay for it, salesman said nope. |

Glad I am not looking to buy right now, just don’t think I could deal with all the hassle.

NICS gets much busier later in the day as stores in time zones west of the Eastern Time zone pile on.

I bought a gun at blackwing a couple weeks ago. I was in and out on my lunch break. The guy doing the transaction was slow or I would have had time to eat lunch.

Yeah, they've had their run through the wringer a few times, because of the number of guns that they sold that have ended up as evidence in Chicago and NYC. When I bought a matching pair of Ruger Wranglers, we were almost done with all of the paperwork and the salesman looked at my very seriously for a moment, and asked, "Can I ask you one more thing, why are you buying two of the same model?" |

I stopped buying guns at Vances Cols location because they try to determine if I am going to use the gun for criminal activity by asking additional questions. Filling out the 4473 and the background check isn't enough for them. I go elsewhere or buy online. |
