For my brother it is. He gets delayed or denied almost every single time. And he's been fairly well behaved. There must b another guy out there with the same name that he gets confused with.

For some reason if I don't use my SS#.......they usually delay me, but with SS# it takes about 15 seconds. Go figure.
He did that (he says) and still has the problem.Exactly my problem. Bad guy in florida. I foumd out it was florida after being stopped one night and questioned. I solved the bacjground check problem by contacting nics and getting a PIN. i use that instead of my ssan and never have had a problem since.
I'm sure that is comforting...
When you go purchase a firearm you need to have your act together. Not having a valid driver's license, just puts the ball in your court. Being delayed isn't a big deal. Most real gun shops will hold your gun for 3 days and within that time NICS usually responds. Without any NICS response in 3 days, the law says the seller can transfer the gun, but some shops might have a policy of not selling the gun without a NICS response. Every time Obama opens his mouth regarding gun restrictions, sales go up and NICS gets busy. I wouldn't be surprised with a "delayed" simply because of the increase in checks. OTOH, I have a fairly common name and my NICS check always comes back instantly. Maybe having had so many federal background checks and security clearances in the past has me on a "first name" basis with the federal government.There were at least 3 denied outright then 1 guy had a lay a way he came to pick up and his NICS was "open" whatever that means, I assumed delayed....but RK said policy is to not sell to them, they refunded his down payment. Another was denied over incorrect address on ID & application. He used his new address on form but DL had old address.
I was just kind of surprised there is that many denials. They denied more than they approved. Does the ATF keep the denied apps?
On another note. RK took care of me....kind of slow, but they were busy so I understood that.

Some of the big box stores have had trouble with ATF, due to poorly trained sales clerks making paperwork mistakes. Some of the big box stores have had their licenses suspended. I'm sure that they are being especially careful to not rock the boat and lose their licenses permanently.yep. Another reason to not buy at a big box retailer. I know Dicks also won't release a firearm without an outright approval. That seems to be the new policy of these places.
