How does the dealer even know you used to live in MA? I assume it just somehow comes up in the POC check?
I went into a NH gun shop today to pick up my new pistol, after waiting an hour for the record check to go through, I went home empty handed thanks to Massachusetts.
No, they didn't find anything that would prevent the sale, the Mass record check system was down and the approval couldn't be processed.
Since I previously resided in Mass, their system is queried as part of the record check, but since they weren't responding, the sale was "delayed" NOT "denied".
The clerk was told by the guy working at the NH record check department that Mass been down for awhile and its created a huge backlog for them.
Anyone else get delayed by this today ???
I swear Mass does this sh*t on purpose just to f^ck with us gun owners.
So glad I got outta' there, but it proves that one can never really get totally free of having their boot on your neck.
It happened to me yesterday in Mass. They couldn't get into the system it was down, I left the store empty handed. Going back today to complete the transaction.
The system is bogged down because they are running queries as to who owns AR's and "illegal" glocks
Yes they have been screwed up since the beginning of August. They can't seem to do anything right.

Sounds like NH isnt as free and independent as we think they are.

In my experience, the new nics system routinely starts delaying people that need further review after 5pm eastern. If it goes longer than 20 minutes researching, delay. It could be the connection to MA databases, it could be there's no second level people to check them, it could be the system just sucks and is overloaded.

It's about as free as MA was 30 years ago, you guys south of the border are still leading the pack in the government tyranny department.... don't worry
You either don't know a lot about Mass gun laws, NH gun laws, or both.

Last I heard most every semi auto rifle owner in MA is a felon. No one in NH is affected. Laws on the books mean nothing. You can post all the links you can find but it doesn't matter what they say....look around you
All you're trying to do is stir the shit pot. How many ban-cations have you had?
If Zappa is watching please update us when you get the green light as I am waiting too.

Help me understand how NH even knows you used to live in MA?
I don't recall anything on the 4473 form asking where you live prior to where you do now.
Doesn't make any sense.
This is because the NH NICS handgun poc ****ing sucks, doesn't really have anything to do with MA. Maybe they have some weird thing that checks MA DMH but that makes little sense.

Over 24 hours has elapsed and I'm still waiting for the phone call from the shop saying I'm OK to take my new toy home.
So do a lot of other states. Apparently no else on this board who is from NH wants it though. They are all so sure that constitutional carry will pass (I doubt it) and that any kind of "option" for a permit cleared background check would suddenly become mandatory. What I do see happening if Hitlery and her state-level comrades win is permanent waiting periods again. Just my .02Yes, yes it does. RI has a better system where if you have a town carry permit, you don't need to spend a half hour to an hour sitting in the gun shop waiting for a call back from the state like NH requires. You fill out the papers and that's about it. I believe the gun shop checks in with the local PD however it does not take anywhere near as long as NH does.
