Sick of being delayed

[Scott]

Went and bought a gun this morning and sure as I knew it would happen it did. I was delayed and this happens at the wrong moments. It is like when I see something I want it then and now. This bothers me because I could have a hunt planned next week and I would not be delayed but I have a coyote hunt this afternoon and wanted a new sidearm and delayed. I wish we could by handguns in OR like rifles because I have never been delayed in OR. This is just a pissing note and it sucks. Anyways they always seem to call like 5 hours later anyways. I need to get that upin # to avoid this problem. So to all the others that experience this I feel you. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.

is this a typical WA thing?

I expect delays because I'm a UK Citizen, but it's normally just an hour or so.
It used to be 24 hours when I first started.

That's a shame...betcha they are understaffed due to the Holiday.

Anyone else having the same problem at the Black Friday Sales?

 

[Dan-Dee Sales Inc]

Yes. We waited 20-25 minutes just to get on hold and another 15 minutes for a live person. They sold 500+ guns by 10am.

There is probably a person with a similar name that is a felon. They have to research it every time you buy.

You can get a UPIN number and they will save the info that they are searching for each time, so you won't have to be delayed anymore.

Doubt it. I've never been delayed for any purchase.

Bi Mart $30 off most.

Maybe I just buy too much crap. It always happens when I can't wait though. Never delayed in OR though. The operator at NICS always delays me and then an agent takes over and it's 50/50. At Brightwater never delayed though and the 1st time at Wholesale sports with over 10 purchases.

 

[Artilleryman]

yeah, it can definitely get annoying...I get delayed at least 50% of the time, probably more.

Whats a UPIN?

 

[Scott]

Whats a UPIN?

It's a number that the FBI assigns you when you fill out the form for one. So they know exactly who you are when you want to buy a gun. It stops delays from happening.
