Thanks for the link, Bob.
Maybe I read the article wrong, but it looks to me like this is a New Hampshire problem more than a problem with NICS. Did I miss something? As I recall, that is why the 3 day "end of waiting" period was put in the NICS law in the first place. That way, government cannot just interminably delay a purchase based on agency mismanagment by claiming they "need more staff" or "need more money.".
You're welcome Somorris,
From what read/saw from this perspective, New Hampshire was just an example. Thought article was interesting angle.
What else saw was an article, more of an awareness/perspective type story of what can and may happen to an FFL and applicant/purchaser plus other related things. And, what can happen if NICS is overwhelmed by applicants during an issue like Covid Virus. To me, what seen is the whole NICS idea and procedure is fraught with overidealist horse hockey to appease a few that may have *understandably over reacted to a scenario out of grief and had the means to implement legal procedures effecting the rights of others in their time of grief. The 2nd Amendment is there to protect us all from injustices from injustices among other things, from no matter the supposed intent, good or not so much. It's there in black and white. 3 day Brady Bill isn't anything but another infringement. Same with NICS and firearm registration. * Understandably doesn't mean is right, just understandable is all.
Other things? Supposed gun retrieval, if NICS Background check comes back denied after three days and dealer has legally sold firearm to customer is just one example seen. If you're the seller, what do you think, see or feel about situation? If purchaser? Same or different scenario? Both people did supposed legal procedure only to be told later on it wasn't?
So much for the actual legality of whatever being valid or for that matter, the legality or righteousness of anything else in law?
Another thing is, according to what's posted on NICS website, firearm can be "legally" be sold if not hearing back from NICS after three days.
Legally is keyword. That means it's legally no longer dealers responsibility to retrieve if firearm was
legally sold, it's the new owners legal possession and responsibility to do whatever in a legally responsible way. Trying to abide by supposed legalities isn't easy on any end if those laws are poorly constructed or written.
