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. Glad it worked out for you.


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.

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." o_O 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.

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.
