Back ground check slow because of gun purchase?

Post by balk-a-nite »

My background check has been in revue for some time now , would the fact that I have gotten a Lott of guns in the last few years slow down my background check ??

How long?

I doubt it has anything to do with gun purchases. It's based on your criminal (or lack there of) background and probably mostly due to the height of the stack of applicants to check, IMO. Mine was in BG check for 22 or so days.

I wondered that about mine too. I bought my first gun the end of January and bought another one less than a month later.
