NICS shutdown?

[rc508pir]

NICS was "temporarily out of service" for a short time Thursday morning. It was back up and running by 9:30 am or so yesterday. Demand is still stupid-high, wait times are still super long. Keep in mind, too, that different states handle background checks differently, and in some states, government offices may be closed because of the virus, which could cause some problems with the processing of background checks.

DAMMIT RON!!! You need to fix this ASAP!!!!

I just talked to a guy that was at academy trying to buy a gun and he said there is a long line of people wanting to buy one

Tsk tsk tsk. How many times we gotta tell you? PICS of Beretta, or it didn't happen.

But but I did post pics oh "he who wields the ban hammer". I put them in the handgun section. But I don't mind putting them in EVERY thread I post in. Just say the word and it shall be done.

Got this email from NICs on 3/17 . . . but nothing since.

Good Morning,



As the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Section works through the impact of the COVID-19 operationally, we are working to maintain our services. We are aware that states may be considering options to protect the health and safety of their employees, which may include a reduction in office availability or even closure to some offices.



Should a state choose to limit their days of operation or close state offices, this could potentially impact the Brady Transfer Date (BTD) by changing the time in which an FFL can legally transfer a firearm in a delayed status. The NICS Section urges FFLs to be cognizant of the impact this may have to your day-to-day operations, and also to stress the importance of adhering to the BTD that is provided to you at the time a transaction is put into a Delay status. The Brady Act does not federally prohibit an FFL from transferring a firearm after the third business day expires, even if the NICS Section has been unable to provide a proceed response, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 922(t)(1).



We appreciate your patience and partnership during this critical time and potential impact to NICS operations.

I just heard from a friend about a guy who said he heard somebody talking on their phone to someone about this.

My buddy made it out of academy with minimal wait

I'll keep my eyes peeled.

NICS is taking stupid long times. I'm getting everything back as "Delayed".

Other problem is that as a dentist, they basically have me shut down.
I'll be in and out of the office but we are only seeing emergency patients.
All routine dental work is cancelled "until further notice"
Had to lay off entire staff to get them on unemployment.
They told us initially two weeks and then jumped it to three.
In at least two States, the State Health Departments have shut dental offices "until further notice"

This all sucks "bigly"
