Why isn't the NICS check instant?

[outrider58]

Talk to them about what though ? It was a simple purchase for a non regulated firearm. MSP has nothing to do with the transaction. It's the NICS/FEDS that are screwy.... That's why some states ( I think approx 10+ ) In those states IF & WHEN you have your ccw/hgp whatever, They bypass NICS, and the transaction goes through the STATE ( which ALSO checks Federal NICS Databases) to approve the purchase. BUT the States & ESPECIALLY MDSP has their act together.... Personally I WISH/think regulated OR non regulated purchases BOTH simply went through MDSP via 77r for me/us.

Well, often, when someone fails a NICS, they get a visit from the state police. I know someone who had this happen to him.

I've heard of that happening..... THAT has NOT happened....to me !!! I would certainly THINK if MDSP, or any agency was to "Pay me the visit" That they would've looked me up, THOROUGHLY before coming !!! And they'd CLEARLY see I have my HGP, HQL, collector and my record is very, VERY clean.......
Again that's why I say, NICS AND/OR the agents system is clearly BROKEN....But calling MSP may not be a bad idea.... I'd think they'd just say I would have to contact FBI. BECAUSE the problem is with THEM (FEDS) & not MDSP..... It's so frustrating. AND the FEDS/NICS/BIDEN/ATF all know it...

It's entirely your call.

If it were me, I would inquire with the MSP, if for no other reason, to head off a 0400 visit and search.

TBH, recently I've been thinking of calling in a lawyer to figure out THEIR MESS.... Have the Attorney send any necessary letters to FBI/NICS, to PREVENT an 0400 unsubstantiated attack !!! ( But that's why I have MY UPIN # ) I can see the dollars sailing out of my wallet SOLELY b/c of FBI/NICS eronious, PURPOSE denials, AND I'M sure thousands of others.

The purpose of all gun control is not for "safety" but to make firearms ownership by lawful individuals as onerous as possible.

That's why.

Not always. I know several folks who have gotten a NICS denial, but no visit from any LE agency.

Didn't say always. I imagine it depends on the seriousness of the fail.

I know of at least two that had what would equate to felony fails (military general court martial) and no visits. Up until those points they had no issues, but at some point, the military added the related offenses to the NICS database.

In my experience, a friend had a 40 year old PBJ from a different state.
BTW, he had just gotten it annulled a year ago and unfortunately died two weeks ago.
