I’ve bought plenty of firearms with no problem before, but yesterday the aye tee eff delayed me. Is this normal? Did becoming a member of the FSF put me on a list? I mean, I’m honestly not surprised but just curious. TIA.

Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Is it normal to get a “delay” when trying to purchase a gat?

What state? I would assume you have a permit? That wouldn’t be normal in Georgia.
I've had to wait a week 3x. It is like well we didn't get to him but let me have it because we couldn't find anything even though we tried
I’ve bought many with no problems, except for one time it was delayed and I had to come back the next day, wait 24 hours. The dealer said it happens sometimes and it’s usually just random most of the time. Have had no issues since then.
Unfortunately all the firearms I’m talking about were lost in a horrible fire and none were replaced.

Being a Veteran put you on a list. FSF probably just added to the number of lists
It happened to me once at Bass Pro shop had to wait like 7 days. When I buy from small gun shops they don't even call the ATF to run a back ground check.
SC too. I like this, although I do not think the government should have any say over gun purchases at all. Since they do though, sigh, I do like that I can just show my CWP & walk right out with my new gun. Shopping for a new pistol now as a matter of fact, looking forward to an easy purchase.

Only this board would complain about taking evaluation time in order to procure a fire arm. And yea, I am pro second amendment, but good Lord…
I personally would like to see them sold in vending machines.

I’m anti gun all around but this board is proof positive that private citizens of any country can’t be trusted with guns!
