Hey there names Jo, I'm a first timer and I'm very excited to join. Just purchased my first .38 Special Snubby and I'm waiting for the background check. I was wondering if anyone from CA had any delays recently. My dealer seemed pretty optimistic at first but now he's saying there's a good chance I could get delayed. I'm just trying to get an idea because if I have to wait about 3 weeks I'll have to change some plans for a trip.

As a result of several recent threads, I asked at a LGS last week. I was told that particular shop hadn't been experiencing virtually any delays and the very few they had typically involved the usual issues... similar names, prior arrests (even if no trial/conviction), etc.Comment

I've bought five guns in three transactions over the past three weeks. No delays, bought four of them with my FFL03 + COE and picking up another Tuesday. No delays or issues for me.

I haven't had any delays, although many Calgunners have reported that they have, it's starting to become a more prevalent issue, I guess just cross your fingers and hope everything goes through smooth

I did a dros last week here in so cal no delay. Only delay is if unvaxxed rhen triggers delay for being a danger to others (LOL) Only way around it is do like texans do is get stump broke horse and give ivermectin and get prophylaxis that way.Comment

I haven't had a delay in the last 5 or 6 droses I did. Had one go 18 days about a year and a half ago during covid. Also had one go the full 30 days about 3 years ago but luckily it was a mom and pop shop so they gave me the gun after the dros came back undetermined.Comment

Jo, welcome to the asylum!
I hope your wait is only ten days. Good luck.
And yes, that 10 days is torture of the worst kind; just went through it a few weeks ago. Agony! :-(

Oh It's been 13 days so I'm just seething over here. The 30th will be 30 days so up to 2 1/2 more weeks. I'm hoping it's just about my name or something and not my record which is clean now.Last edited by JLuna89; 04-13-2022, 6:24 PM.Comment
