So, I went to the pawnshop to bail out a couple of guns. I waited slowly in a smelly, sweaty line to do this, me with the broken back and not a chair in sight. All of this went well until, with the guns in front of me, the NICS computer system was stated to be down. We were told that they would need to reboot and it might take a few hours. No guns until then.
A day later I call and am told that since I have one (paid-but-failed) application in with NICS that it is impossible to make another fresh one. I must wait fourteen days until the default release date. There are no exceptions.
That afternoon I went to a different and much nicer pawnshop and SUCCESSFULLY redeemed a different pair of pistols---no trouble with NICS since their computer was back up. However, that better pawnshop confirmed that you cannot make a fresh application if the first one failed, even due to NICS error. There is no recourse, and there is nobody to complain to. NICS does not take complaints.
I guess I need to write my congressman.................elsullo
