I have a customer whose b/r check is in the "Decision Pending" status since 2-6-2020. I just checked. Still pending. You can't determine a yes or a no in almost a month?This is redundant with the CPL background check--not to mention the fact that background checks have been repeatedly proven ineffective.
Exactly.This is redundant with the CPL background check

That's a Florida thing, not Federal.I have a customer whose b/r check is in the "Decision Pending" status since 2-6-2020. I just checked. Still pending.
That's not the fault of FBI NICS, but slow or nonexistent response from a state database.You can't determine a yes or a no in almost a month?
I disagree. I would say not ineffective, but imperfect. The background check while not perfect, is effective at identifying prohibited persons. So effective that prohibited persons ask someone else to go buy the gun for them.This is redundant with the CPL background check--not to mention the fact that background checks have been repeatedly proven ineffective.
FBI NICS is a free service, toll free call or website query.Exactly.
Just speculation, but the added cost of doing more checks will get added to the price of the gun?
Well, no.This is one of the many problems. It removes accountability and allows them to basically delay your purchase for whatever reason they choose for however long they want.
It's for the children.Of course, background checks have also been shown not to reduce homicide or suicide (even in CA with "universal" background checks), and many mass shooters have passed background checks. Background checks are merely "feel good" measures for hoplophobes that are usually called "common sense" by the left in response to a mass shooting committed by someone who passed a background check and carried out the murders in a "gun-free" zone.
Correct. Marijuana is still prohibited by federal law. Just because some states have made it legal under state law does not change federal law.If I am reading this right, because it is legal in MI to use marijuana, the process for giving a CPL no longer considers the part of the NICS check about being a habitual user of marijuana to be relevant to acquiring the license?
The main reason I have a CPL is ease of firearm purchases.
No, it's not okay. Impaired is impaired and being in possession of a firearm while drunk is likely a crime in every state.....Go buy a gun then suck down a 12 pack of beer but that's OK!

As Dogtown Tom noted, Fla is one of those states where the state is the point of contact for dealers to run b/r checks. After Parkland things got really different. We can't release a firearm, pawn redemption or sale, until we get an approval.I was under the impression that an FFL release the gun to the customer if after getting a "Delay" and there is no response from the NICS folks after THREE business days.
And wait three days to take possession if you do not have the CWFL for handgun and now longgunIn Fla you're required to pass a b/r regardless of whether you have a cwp or are a credentialed LEO buying a non-duty firearm.
I had to do a BG check on a gun I had on consignment in order to get it back; wasn't pawned, just in a LGS for saleAs Dogtown Tom noted, Fla is one of those states where the state is the point of contact for dealers to run b/r checks.

Have one customer that pawned and redeemed her firearm twice before and was approved both times but right now she's appealing a non-approval.

Firearms received for sale on consignment must be entered in the licensee’s acquisition and disposition record. The sale of a consignment firearm is handled in the same manner as other firearm sales. Return of any consigned firearms by the licensee to the consignor must be entered in the licensee’s disposition record. An ATF Form 4473 and a NICS check must be completed prior to the return of such firearms.
