NICS Background Check Wait Time?

[mydogsmonkey]

CA Dealers don't use the NICS system directly...The DOJ does it for them. Where did you see that NICS number and the "approved"? On the 4473 or DROS?

it was on my receipt, it has the NICS number and status on it
ive never seen it before except for this one place

Interesting. CA dealers aren't prohibited from using the NICS system. I'm just wondering why one would. Did the dealer actually make a phone call to them?

You sure it's not the DROS number?

What!? You can be denied a gun for an expired drivers license or owed taxeS!
That is complete bull. Buying a gun is a right, not a privelege

If you have an expired CA drivers license, you might have a current drivers license in another state and you have to be a current CA resident to buy a gun in CA.

The 10 day waiting period was an original holdover from before the NICS check, back when forms had to be mailed to the ATF via snail mail. However once the NICS was created, it was proposed that the 10 day waiting period be kept as a "cooling off" period here in California.

The NICS check is near instant. Under 5 minutes.
