in the past 6 weeks i have noticed the NICS has gone down several times for several hours. It's been down ALL day since 8:30am. WTF is going on here? This some form of gun control? shity computers? Grrr! I have a Glock sitting in a store paid for and i can't touch it. In FL, even if you have a CCW you still have to get a NICS check. I'm so pissed.  J |

it's another Glock G23 ( mid-size .40). all black two 13 round non-leo mags. I wish i had this for duty. <mumbles> damn HK USP POS<mumbles> Anyway.. I already have one but , i like so why not have two. Plus i could just swap out one barrel and shoot 357 sig. Damn gooberment! J |
| It is sh*tty computers - the .gov has computers 10-20 years behind what Private Industry has. I used to work for a place that had two terminals connected to it, and they were old, old IBM terminals. The IRS, about 15 years ago, was still using punch cards. In 1999, the FBI office in Dallas had 386 pc's as their standard desktop, when most private companies had pentiums. The only .gov agencies that have anything that is state of the art are the NSA, the NRO, the CIA, the the NOAA. |
NICS is a private company working for the FBI ------------ or am I wrong ??? I think it is a low bid thing --------- you get what you pay for... |
Well, the .mil sure has some kick ass stuff. we get more new work stations and servers than you can shake a stick at. They had to rewire for more AC power into the building recently to handle all the additional draw. Nuff said.  NICS ? ? In AZ, if you have a CCW, it's just fill out the 4473 and walk out the door. |
I am glad to hear that. The .mil should have the best equipment all around.
