Their site says they are backed up 2-3 days. Anyone buy a gun in the last few days?  Picking up an extra shotgun for reasons and just wondered if I should expect a long delay.

Everyone is panic buying everything. Expect it to continue.

For fun, go browse sgammo or similar sites.

Just went in to buy a crappy shotgun. CBI was over 9,000 records behind as of 1630 today. Gun counter guy said they'd give me a call sometime next week.

I just bought a gun on the 10th.  The background check was done before I finished filling out the 4473.  This panic buying frenzy came out of nowhere.

Wonder how much of the delay is CBI and how much is NICS. Would really be nice if we could just skip the middle man and use NICS (for free) like everyone else.

great post.

back to the current situation--CBI should hit over 10,000 this morning, and push closer to 4 days by the end of this day.

CBI says they abide by the NICS rule of transferring at the end of 3 business days even if the check hasn't been completed.

InstaCheck mirrors NICS in these regulations.  Specifically, we have 3 business days, by 12:00AM to return a response to an FFL.  3 Business days do not include weekends, holidays or the day that the query was made.  (28 CFR Part 25)

I'm glad that business is good for the FFL's, and that likely new gun owners are being minted every day. Damn TP ain't gonna protect itself.
