Hello to all . I am new here so apologize if this scenario has been covered . I just got my pistol permit ( here in NY ) in November . A week later I bought my first pistol with no problem . The same day I put another one on layaway . A month later when I have it payed off and try to pick it up my back ground check comes back with a delay then later a deny. I have run the background check 3 more times all with the same result . Now my money is tied up in a gun I can't get and I have done all the paperwork for the appeal but I'm told the nics system is currently working on appeals from JUNE of last year and today I read in the USA today all nics appeals have been suspended the fbi can't handle the ones they have ! What do I do now?
Congrats, and well done, the patience you have displayed through this process is admirable. I wish I could muster that much patience in my day to day life!
Sad though.
26 pages, many months, much dinnero, later, you my friend have satisfied the socialist tyrants qualifications to exercise a right you were born with.
In the meantime approximately 10,000 freed felons exercised their right to be armed in a, day or two.
I finally got to go shooting last Saturday night . It felt great but it was way to hot in the indoor range to stay that long . But I still got to shoot.
Today’s update...... I went to Pennsylvania Friday to get my Pennsylvania permit only to get turned down again! So after over a year of having my permit back and buying more guns my paperwork still isn’t uploaded everywhere... I’m still waiting on a upin number from the feds.Now I have started the appeals process for this. Here we go again.
Christ on a pogo stick!!! Zman, this has gone beyond atrocious to comically incompetent (on the part of the assorted gummint drones you have been forced to deal with) There is a character of Al Capp's called Joe Btfsplk (Lil Abner comic strip). You are his reincarnation.
Joe was the worse Jinx in the world. Bad luck followed him like the little storm cloud that was always over him.
Or, as an old friend from Arizona once said "You have done something to piss off the Kachinas." By all means, DO get the UPIN- that may be the shortest route out of the quagmire. And I must say, I DO admire the tenacious spirit I have seen in you throughout this insanity. Hang in there.
I called down to Pennsylvania to find out what the issue is now and was told I have to get a relief of disability in Pennsylvania to get a permit there . Here we go again
You do realize that it's not always everyone else's fault, right? Your actions in the past are what created this mess. Being a perennial victim is your choice.
BTW, what do you do occupationwise? There are MANY places with a man with a transferrable trade can prosper in freedom. I understand, if you work for Kodak or something you might be landlocked, but an American citizen should not have to endure this kind of crap.
Well I got a call from the gun shop owner saying my delay has turned to a proceed so I pick the gun up tomorrow. Thanks to the gun owner for asking to speak to a supervisor at NICS because the idiot he had on the phone first was going to flat out deny me . Then the supervisor changed it to a delay after the gun shop owner explained my problems has been resolved . I don’t know what the first guy as looking at bu but he clearly needs retraining.
