Let me start off by saying that I have not purchased a gun in about twenty years. But I work with people that buy guns an ammo from gun shops, gun shows, and the internet all the time. I purchased an AR10 off of Gun Broker and had it shipped to a gun shop in Houma. I was contacted by the gun shop when the gun arrived. I went in and filled out the NCIS background paperwork. The guy called it in and said that I was being checked and did not get an instant approval and from his experience I would not get approval that day. That was ten days ago. I called the gun shop after seven days to ask if they had heard anything. After telling me that they had not recieved a call yet. I asked if this was unusal because my friends at work are telling me they have never heard of the back ground check taking this long. His reply was that it could take a week, a month, or they might never call. Considering that I have already paid for the gun and he has it. That answer is not exceptable. At this point I am not sure if the problem is with NCIS or the gun shop? And the bigger problem is that I am not sure how I can resolve this problem. Does anyone have any advice of what my options are?
