I'm pretty sure ever since the demacraps passed their latest anti firearm bill, you have a 10 day (min?) waiting period for anything semi-auto. Handgun AND rifle.

I present my CHL and list my soc. #. Always auto approved.

I've never listed my SS on a 4473.

If you don't trust your FFL with your personal info I wouldn't shop there. Plus, if someone wanted your info it's all on the internet.

Sportsman's does theirs on a tablet so there is no physical paperwork, I like that system.

I don't trust anyone with my personal info. I only submit it as needed. And I definitely don't put my SSN out there unless absolutely required, IRS, employer, loans, credit. Any company website can be hacked.

I agree with both of you, each person sets his own standards.

Who gives their doctor their SSN?

I don't because I pay cash...most people use insurance so they give up rights to do so

As an adult, I've never provided my SSN at any medical facility.

It was common practice for billing purposes in the medical field for years. Not saying it's mandatory to provide it but reception or staff asked.

 

[Glock Jock]

Question to everyone, have you ever put your SSN (and know the FFL entered it), know that all your info was accurate and current, and still got put in the que, having to wait weeks?

Yes. Me, today. I have a CHL and it's usually 10 minutes but today I got put in the que. Lame.

 

[J&B Firearm Sales Inc.]

As of opening today the queue is currently at 3,819 people.
The two Approvals that popped up this morning were submitted on 11/4, so we're seeing a roughly 13 day turnaround.

As a lot of people have mentioned in this thread CHLs are supposed to act as a fast pass, I will note that for whatever reason (I think it's a software bug / glitch with the FICS website maybe?) occasionally we will have CHL holders still go into the queue, which is incredibly frustrating.

 

[raftman]

Have to wonder who are the people buying anymore and keeping the queue so high. I'd think by now all the panic buying should be done with.

the best part about the whole thing is the law states you cannot hold a gun for more than 3 business days(oregon) but all ffl's just hold it the whole duration. the atf suggests holding it the duration but the actual law is 72 hours. I've only had 1 ffl who knew the law in the last 2 years that released it before the time period

Most are aware of this. The FFL still has the discretion to hold it for the duration and virtually all do.

I bought a gun last Thursday. Almost instantaneous approval.

From what I'd heard their most common interpretation is they get 72 hours from when the reviewers review and return a status of "delayed" rather than 72 hours from when you submit your info for review.

I've always understood that the 3 day thing was to keep the bureaucrats on their toes allowing The People to exercise their Second amendment rights without issue. To make sure access to fire arms was not allowed to slow up, diminish or be unnecessarily delayed. So my take is that the state has cut services pretty much everywhere. Accept giving people money for not working and pet construction projects of course. And back ground checks have ground to a "Cold Tar" pace. On PURPOSE, is my take on it! At least they still consider those of us with concealed carry permits to be worthy. I've got a hunch OSP doesn't like this any more than we do.

If I were an FFL? No way in HELL would I release a gun to anyone I hadn't known personally for many, many years. People have gone to crap in the last 10 years.
