NICS delay Discussion
About 5 or 6 years ago I attempted to buy a handgun in Oregon (that's where I lived at the time)... the NICS check came back as delayed. Not sure why, but ok, waited a few days and called the gun store to see if I cleared... still hadn't... called back about 2 or 3 weeks later and it was still delayed... after that I gave up.
This is really irritating... I understand that dealers CAN sell after 3 days... but from what I gather most won't... what gives? I totally feel like my 2nd amendment rights are being violated. What can be done? Who will sell after the 3 days and the delay never gets cleared?

I used to get indefinite NICS delays. Applied for a VAF/UPIN and haven’t had an issue since.
