I've been meaning the make an update to the OP and another post, but it's been a little crazy here apologies for the delay and thank you the reminder!"
Given that Dec 8th falls on a Thursday that means the last day we can submit your background check and still guarantee delivery by end of day on Dec 7th would be Thursday Dec 1st."
My understanding is that business days are based on the days the State offices (in our case Oregon State Patrol) are open and doing background checks. Can you layout the schedule of how you arrived at Dec 1st being last day to do background checks for a no response release on Dec 7th? It seems like Dec 3rd might be the last day?
Edit: I filled out a form 4473 and was entered into the system on Saturday. The FFL said I could pick up the firearms on Wednesday.
Saturday (doesn't count)
Sunday (Day 1)
Monday (Day 2)
Tuesday (Day 3)
Wed (free to pick up firearms)
2 more days may not seem like much more time but that could mean an FFL might make 100+ more firearms available for their new owners to pick up by Dec 7th.
Originally we had thought business days meant Mon-Fri, however since our OP the boss had read into more and clarified that it meant all days the FICS unit operates, so you are correct our last day to submit BGCs and utilize the 3 day rule is Saturday Dec 3rd. Anyone after that pretty much has to pray for an instant approval.
We are planning on remaining open late on Weds Dec 7th (exact time TBD still) to try to and get as many firearms picked up as possible.
Although we're still having a few restock shipments coming in this week we have pretty much slowed down/nearly stopped on ordering (with holiday shipping times most new shipments won't likely arrive by the deadline), our primary goal right now is trying to call everyone in the queue after 3 days and letting them know to come in to pick up their item(s) which we're trying to do as quickly as we can.
As of this second the CHL queue is at 7,809 regular queue at 28,911.
