3 Things I'd never thought I'd do!

1. Make contact to buy a gun from an FFL dealer via Facebook.
2. Pay over $1,000 for a semi automatic pistol. (Fn 5.7 - love it!)
3. Receive a lightening fast background check approval via the internet.

As Dylan once said, "The times they are a changing"....!

Who knows what is next. AND, I hope it is for the better!

I might add that I received TOP NOTCH courtesy and service from National Sporting Goods in Jersey Shore, PA. I would buy another gun from them in a heartbeat.

Funny. TOP NOTCH is my FFL's business name! Congrats on the five-seven.
 
Some days it just seems like everything falls into place nicely. I bought a new CZ 455 .22 rifle from a local dealer on Jan. 20th.. They had it priced a lot less than I thought it was gonna be. Then the NICS check was so quick I couldn't believe it. This was at about 10 a.m. that day, then, a couple hours later we had a new president. Overall, it was a good day.
 
Ive had background check calls as short as 30 seconds, and never longer than 3 minutes. Internet background checks usually take about an hour. I refuse to guy from a place that does them. Im sure its just that they dont know how to do it, but still, an hour for a background check? I wonder if they are getting the results instantly, but are trying to keep you in the store.
 
I had a NICS check go so quickly yesterday morning that I hadn't even started out filling out the form. The shop has my info on file from previous transactions, and this was an inbound transfer, so they had my name already.

I told the guy when he aid "you're good to go." that I hadn't even had time to peruse his own wares, something I usually do while waiting..
 
National Sporting Goods +1
I walk in there and half the staff smiles and says " Hi my real name! "
The other half is busy.
A good old fashioned gun shop with friendly and helpful people.
I wonder if any of them are members of THR. I'll have to ask next time I stop in. I am due for a visit.
 
Florid does their NICS checks online now ,just depends on how fast your dealer can type! NJ could take months.....
 
I never thought you could buy canned cod livers off the internet and have it delivered for free to your house in two days but that's just what I did!! :)

Love the net. Great thing for gun owners, and those that like cod livers spread on rye bread!
