My local FFL thinks I am nuts as I always worry about the NICS check, even though I have nothing in my past that would prevent me from owning a gun.
Thus far (I have had 5 done since Feburary) they go like this:
Hi, FFL number XXXXXX, Name is XXX, and so on.
about 10 seconds later he is writing down a number on the form, and
"approved".
After reading this forum many times you guys have me paranoid that I will get a delay/deny. I am curious, is there a common situation that causes them? First gun non-private sale buy? First gun buy in a new state? Too many guns bought in a short period?
I just sold 3 guns, 1 to a gun shop the other 2 to a pawn shop, dont know that would 'flag' me, but my tin foil hat goes on after reading about 15 of the threads of 'NICS denied me for no reason'.
Thoughts? My FFL still looks at me weird when I mention the 'denials for no reason'. Case in point, after winning an M1 Carbine on gunbroker I asked him to do the FFL check the next day (the 30th) instead of when the gun comes in (not until the 18th or so)...dont the sales have to be completed within 30 days before the check needs to be redone?
