I posted this at another Forum earlier, but I would like to hear the opinions of the good folks here.
I bought a S&W M-19 through an internet auction site, made arrangements to have it shipped to my local FFL, went to pick it up last Monday, the revolver was in better condition than I thought would be, but the problem was when my FFL did the federal check I was delayed, no reason for the delay was given. There is no reason I can think of that this should happen. Rather uncommon and long first and middle names, last name is semi- common but with an uncommon spelling with an III attached at the end. One minor arrest 40 years ago, one 12 over speeding citation in 1996, and 27 years LEO.
My FFL stated that he and others have noticed an increase in Federal delays in the last 6 -12 months, in fact according to him they are becoming common place. It almost sounds as if the government is doing everything it can to innate a federal waiting period on firearms purchases.
Has any of you had similar experiences? If so hopefully you would share them with us.
Thanks,
