Bought a gun at Academy Friday night about 730pm, did the form electronically, I think I was out of there in 30mins. Damn, wait for days? F that...
It is my understanding that Academy will also not release a gun until they get a PROCEED. I don't necessarily like it, but I do understand why some businesses feel it is in their best interest to be cautious these days. Imagine if they let a fella have his AR after the 3 days of waiting on NICS was up without a PROCEED and he turns out to be a nutjob and goes on a rampage.
If I had a gun store, I'd probably do the same. Especially if it was a customer I've never met before. It's not something worth complaining or boycotting.
It's a business and the first thing they should be concerned about is protecting themselves. I see no problem with their decision at all.

Several years ago the Academy on NW Highway in OKC had a sale on the Heritage 22 pistol for $99. Now I know they are a cheap pistol but for $99 for a truck gun. Long story short they said I was on hold and to come back next day. After 4 weeks calling and going back they said it never went thru and now they no longer had they gun. One of the employees caught me going out and apologized and said the only reason I didn't get it was that it was the last one and an employee wanted it!!
Probably will never buy a gun from Academy, do buy online and only had one other delay at Sooner Pawn where I do all my transfers. Why would it bother you to put social on the form? They already have all my info so I quit worrying about that. Have had background check done by probably every Gov. agency there is without a problem.Never had problems with delays. Also, don't put SSN on the forms. Academy now has electronically on a tablet.
Yep, I picked up a Remington 700 BDL, in 25-06 with a decent Bushnell scope on it a few years ago for 159.00 and tax, They called me later that day and said the police wanted the gun... I said Have the police call me then ! Never heard another word !! LOLWell unless they screw up and then they want you to bring it back to them.
