Just got off the phone with bi-mart in Cheney Washington. It's been 12 working days now and they said they will NOT release my pistol until they hear back on background check....If you plan on buying a pistol there heads up, they make their own laws

If you go to a big-box store to save a little money this is the policy you will hear. "It's corporate" yada yada. My favorite local ffl has a sign on his counter stating he WILL transfer after 10 working days. He told me he has had a couple come back as denials after the transfer and all he has done is call the buyer and ask them to return the firearm and if they refused the problem was law enforcements to go and get it. No problem to him as it was a legal transaction. Our sheriff is not anti gun but hates doing the back ground checks and set them a low priority often a month. He's po'd because the state never gave him any money to process the checks. Ask the ffl their policy BEFORE putting down your money.Just got off the phone with bi-mart in Cheney Washington.

I've always wondered if there was any rhyme or reason for the variation in approval times. I've never had to wait for a background check. I picked up a new gun yesterday with no wait. Even before I had my CHL, I was buying at one of the black Friday sales. I was told that there was a 2 to 3 hour wait and that they would call me when I could pick up my gun. I started walking away and they immediately yelled for me to come back and get my gun. I got the stink eye from everyone there waiting. It makes me wonder what it says about me in a background check
