3 business days, but the FFL is not obligated to proceed with the sale if they don't want to
3, but not familiar with any FFL that goes by that. To much at stake for their business to chance it in Massghanistan
rep point to you sir3 FFL Business Days. If it's on a Saturday it doesn't start until the following Monday regardless of the FFL's Hours. If your FFL is on paper working one day a week then it could take over 3 weeks.

I go by it. It's the Law. I'm legally able to do it and if it comes back with a Denial after the Brady Transfer date that they give me it's their own damn fault and they can go get the guy themselves. Not my problem. If they have a Valid LTC in MA which I require, it's the least of my worries considering the BS you have to go through to get one.

Please forgive my ignorance.....delay for what?
Delay because NICS ****ing sucks and they think that possibly maybe the person buying a gun is prohibited, but they don't have enough staff/examiners to straighten out the discrepancy on the spot, so they get to pick their ass for 3 days while you're denied your rights. It hasn't happened to me but I can see why someone else would be steamed if it happened to them, particularly if they know their nose is clean... Basically it's the government's way of violating due process... you are guilty of (some disabling crime here) until proven innocent via NICS.

Yeah, it's happened to me once or twice. The curious thing is when it happens once, then not the next time, then again 2 or 3 times later....
Hey NICS people, PUT A NOTE ON THE DAMN FILE!!
they aren't allowed to unless you sign requesting a voluntary appeal file VAF
That's cool and all, but I guess I wouldn't mind a note saying "last approved MM/DD/YYYY" when the search came up. That way unless there was something new since that date they can just say "ok, looks good lets roll".

Actually unless they are instigating a criminal prosecution all records of NICS checks are supposed to be destroyed after a period of time- so there is no "back door" registry. I have my doubts that NICS is complying with that part of the law, but it is in there....
IIRC I thought it was three days
