is this real or did the people at store not want to hand it over?

So your gun is sick? Because as far as I know, the definition of quarantine is isolating a diseased thing to prevent the spread of such disease.

Super AIDS perhaps?

Sounds like someone doesn't know what words mean. I wonder what they actually said, delayed, denied , held?

Notwithstanding the massive amounts of savant members here, before asking them, especially offering almost no useable info, I personally could not have walked away without asking a slew of questions or asking to see some sort of written related fodder from the store manager first.

Did you cough on the 4473?

Knowing which store , or chain of stores , would narrow down some possibilities.
I have personally experienced a variety of issues picking up firearms before.

How many days have gone by since you filled out the 4473?

This was my first thought.

OP , if it's past a month since the initial, official bgc inquiry, your 4473 has " expired " .
The store should have had you start from the beginning.

no i did it on the 12th and it passed on the 17th

This was my first thought.

This situation certainly creates a demand for answers to questions. If this is truly an ATF "problem," there must be some explanation.

I bought a revolver on Dec. 19, here we now must wait for a state patrol BCG. Yesterday, Dec. 23, the store called and said they had been cleared to release the gun. The caller from the store said they would "hold it until Dec. 31." A statement which inspires a lot of curiosity in me. The gun was fully paid for on Dec. 19. So, if I don't pick it up by Dec. 31st, what happens? Do they throw it away? Do they put it back in inventory? Do I get my money back? What? I'll ask, but I wasn't going to go up there today in all kinds of day before Christmas traffic and commotion to pick it up. I'll go Tuesday, Dec. 26.

So, I'm thinking that maybe the OP's store has a problem with him not picking it up timely (in their opinion).

Eff. Jan 1st, Wash. State has a mandatory 10 day waiting period before a buyer can take possession of a newly purchased firearm. This will mean lots of guns sitting around in gun stores, waiting for pickup. I know many dealers don't want to store stuff like that, it takes up space.

It's more likely FICS has you on a delay then. I would ask the FFL if they would show you any notes from the FICS transaction.

Yes, but:



Unless WA has annexed part of OR, which I would think would be big news.

Yes, I saw that he was in Ore. My comment about our situation here was anecdotal as to why gun stores might give reasons for whatever. His dealer in Ore. might be one that doesn't like to store guns for people waiting to pick up.

Well, his username looks like it could be pronounced "germ" so...

Short barrel? Full auto, some other ATF issue?
