Re: Purchasing Pistol Background Check Says "DELAY"

He already apologized for running it early. I'm still not sure why he did that. He didn't have a good explanation. It's not like it takes very long to run it when I show up to pick up new guns.

Purchasing Pistol Background Check Says "DELAY"

Re: Concealed Carry Gun Stolen

Not to derail things, but may I ask where were you able to order a replacement for the Shield? I've been keeping an eye out for one but no luck so far. I purchased the pistol from a seller on GunBroker. Unfortunately, that means I paid about about $100 above MSRP, but it's the gun I want and that's...

Re: Concealed Carry Gun Stolen

Thanks for the responses! I'm still pretty peeved about the situation. Although, it sounds like TexasCajun had it a lot tougher than me. As expected, there has been no word from the police. I'm not holding my breath. I've already ordered a replacement and all the accessories. So, I'll have something...

Concealed Carry Gun Stolen

Well, I learned a tough lesson today. Last night after visiting the range, some friends invited me to meet up with them at a local watering hole. Before I entered, I removed my crossbreed holster and m&p shield 9mm. Now, you might think that I would have placed my pistol in the nano vault I inst...

Re: Finally, an update!

Wow, still "Background check pending" since Jan 25th... I would seriously think a background check doesn't take over a week. Guess I'll ring them up tomorrow mornin' :banghead: I mailed my packet on the same day, got my first update on the same day, and my status has not changed. I have n...
