Ok a short rant. On Monday (8/29/11) I went into my LGS with the wife to pick out her birthday present. She chose an XD 9 SC. Filled out the 4473; guy calls NICS, and got a delay. Not a big deal, he said come pick it up Friday (9/2/11) if you don’t hear anything before then, ok no problem. Wednesday (8/31/11) received a call from dealer, they got the proceed. Can’t pick up that day, went the next. Arrive at store show my receipt to the lady at register, she goes back to get paperwork and gun. Comes back asked if I had received a call, politely answered “Yes, ma'am. Yesterday afternoon.” She goes back again and comes out with manager he explains they have some issues and he needs to make a call, ask if I mind waiting. No problem. He goes back does his thing for about twenty minutes, then come out. Explains what’s going on. NICS originally came back delayed (Monday), then proceed (Wednesday), then denied (Wednesday), then proceed (Thursday), then denied again (Thursday). His making a call was to sort out what was going on and he was given a proceed again. They were very apologetic, said they had never seen anything like this before, gave me two extra range passes (four total) and I left with the gun. So long story short I was delayed, denied twice, and proceeded three times in a four day period. Ok it wasn’t very short but end rant.
FFLs have any of you ever had this happen, or has anyone else ever had it happen to them.
FYI, I would believe they were coming up with a load of you know what, but I saw the dated stamps on the 4473 and they matched the story.
