Mine usually take about 15 to 20 minutes each time, but I did have secret clearance for using COMSEC devices back in the .mil days.... or it could be from all the lists they have to sort through!
There may be some truth in that statement, but it wouldn't have been a direct reason for a deny.Guess you shouldn't have raised so much hell in your younger years!
They ask for an address. Bit of a stretch to think that is launching an investigation.
If not an investigation, why do they need an address?
And further, if the .gov is not keeping a database of transfers, what use is reading them an address regarding an already failed NICS check?
Maybe all they want is a name, then an address, perhaps a current contact number, but a little bite of this and a little bite of that, and before long, they know exactly what's on the entire menu.
Sorry, I do not know. The ATF tells us what to do, and we do that if we want to keep our license.
My frustration is not with you. I expect you to follow the law. My frustration is the argument that this new process is just following the laws on the books. The law on the books for years was to investigate denials (assuming someone lied on the 4473) and prosecute when warranted. They of course rarely ever followed through. Now we have expanded this to delays (which stats show most are just delays and do NOT result in denials) They need to focus on the denials and prosecuting those that lie on the 4473, not harass those who simply have a delay.
The info I have is that the address is needed because the new law requires the FBI/NICS to report any denials to the local authorities within (best I recall) 24 hours. Note that this applies to denials, not delays. The info is only acted upon in the case of a denial, as far as I know.
