Well as I said I have a CHL and renewed it in MAY also have had one since 1991 I'm most worried for some reason the dealer entered something wrong in the computer.

Yep, and this is exactly why no FFL will risk their license to the 3 day rule. None that I know of anyway.I know personally of 2 occasions where background checks went from delayed to denied after more than 3 days.
If the firearm had been released after the 3 days, the Federally Licensed Dealer would potentially be charged with providing a firearm to a prohibited person............
.................then the fun starts.
Y'all are not thinking this through completely.

Nope.
In the verbiage you quoted & circled above, the key word is "may".
Not "must" or "is required to" etc etc.
So all but 1 FFL I know of WILL NOT, and the one I know of...that was during "normalcy", not thousands in the queue everyday for months.

I been wondering all along if this guy is jerking me around the whole rifle sitting there a week before I almost force him to tell me its there makes a guy wonder.Did he actually enter your CHL? Probably 95% of BGCs I enter using a CHL go through immediately or take only a few minutes, but you have to enter the CHL not a DL.
You guys have valid points about the 3 day thing and I have never said I should get the rifle after 3 days. MY beef is that I have a CHL I've had a CHL since 1991 I just renewed my CHL in May I have nothing on my record what so ever to doubt I would pass a BGC. SO WHY is it taking now a full 3 weeks.
When I talk to people that bought after I did and have already received their firearms it just burns my back side.
I bought a Henry survival 22lr from cabelas on the 1st using my CHL I had to wait till the 11th for my background to come back. I didn't really mind it at first, until last week I got my PSA order and I tried to go pick it up with the hopes that my CHL would go through right away. And NOPE. I am still waiting. It's very frustrating.Did u give them your CHL to put in the computer ??
I even called county and asked to make sure that my name was properly spelled correctly and they notified me that everything was correct and valid.I bought a Henry survival 22lr from cabelas on the 1st using my CHL I had to wait till the 11th for my background to come back.

So as an FFL, from what I was told by my ATF handler is that the 3 days is actually 5. For example, if you submitted your info on Monday, the 3 days starts on Tuesday and would end on Thursday. Then you would be able to get your firearm on Friday assuming the FFL would release it to you. The FFL would not be charged for any crimes that happened as a result of someone getting their firearm unlawfully but the FFL could be sued civilly. That is why FFL's won't do it.
On a side note, people often ask why some people get instant approval whereas other don't. I have been told that if a person includes their SSN and has a unique name with absolutely nothing in their past, they can get instant approval. CHL's don't appear to matter much. I have seen this firsthand.
This past Saturday, I was told 5-6 days wait for BGC, so figured I'd get the process going. Was told the queue was over 6k people according to their computer. I was approved instantly. Go figure.
