BARR: The FBI Is Playing Games With Gun Background Checks?

Anyone hearing anything about this?

 

The three-business-day hold period is clearly defined as days in which “state offices are open” in the particular state where the transaction is taking place. This particular language was designed so as not to box the FBI into having to resolve the potential problem with a purchaser’s background on a Friday right before a three-day state or federal holiday. For the past 22 years this has been the common understanding. Until now, that is.

 

Since the announcements over the past several weeks of federal and state-level COVID-19 “state of emergency” decrees, during which many businesses and public events are closed, FFLs have been receiving notices from the FBI that certain transactions are delayed not for three business days, which is the maximum the law allows, but for 30 days or even longer.

Do we have any dealers who have gotten notice from the ATF stating the 30 day rule?

IF this is true, Barr is the FBI bosses boss and he can take care of it very quickly if he wants to

I might point out that is not authored by USAG Bill Barr but some former pol Bob Barr.

Does it really matter since the 3 day federal hold doesn't apply in hellinois?

Not everyone here lives in IL. Even though I'm in Indiana now I still come here because none of the other forums are nearly as active and up to date on federal matters

As an IL FFL 01 Dealer, I am in a few groups of FFL Dealers across the country and they are all complaining about this. They said NICS E-Check (similar to the online FTIP System), is telling them all kinds of different dates; some 1 week, some 2 weeks, and even up to a month. The reason most are stating is that the system is telling them that state offices are not open. From what they are saying, the 3 days can be delayed even longer if state offices are closed.

I’m no longer an FFL but I say F them. Complete the transactions and bring on the lawyers.

I bought a rifle last weekend and the background check went right thru.

I have had gun buyers waiting 9 days starting 03/15, but ISP got better week after week. By the time we hit the 1st week of April, 2-4 days was the norm. Haven't ran a bcg check since 04/02, so I don't know if they have stayed caught up. What hasn't changed is, if you were getting "instant approvals" in the past, the FTIP System will still give you an "instant approval." I only had 1 "instant approval" customer get a delay, everyone else were still getting "instant approvals" who had came here in the past.
