They're processing ~1200-1500 a day, but the numbers keep going up. It was over 11k yesterday

If what they're processing and new BGC requests are similar on a daily basis then the queue size isn't going to change much.

Can your FFL check where you are in the queue? I just did one yesterday for something I bought before the panic. I don't plan on calling today and bugging them but would be curious tomorrow where I sit in the line.
Just wait until tanner this weekend. They are advertising it on the 9news scroller

Convenient would be the right word. Very convenient falls right in to proposed CO gun legislation.

Can your FFL check where you are in the queue? Nope, not through the CBI website dealers use. FFL dealer would have to call CBI to get that info.

No more paranoia please. The CBI time counter has maxed out. Fewer checks per store are being completed every day because each store has so many more checks in line. You can believe that the CBI people are under a lot of pressure and are probably pretty tired. More pressure to complete what you have usually means more MISTAKES. Yes they can, they can tell you how many people are still in front of you, but cannot estimate any time frame.
I just love being provocative [blah-blah]
Just a thought, maybe colorado should do away with the CBI checks and let the FFL access NICS like other states do. Look at all the money the state would save. [rules]

Then we'd be back at square 1 IF something else happened shooting wise. WE NEED TOUGHER BG CHECKS ON GUN BUYERS is how the CBI became involved last time. I believe that shooter in castle rock was despondent over his separation/divorce and offed the kids.

You are making the assumption that Colorado is alone in this frenzy. Imagine it at the Federal level with all the states who do not have a state run instacheck program that have to go through NICS. What is their delay at right now? The feds aren't as nice as to publicize their progress as has CBI.
I read somewhere in the past that there was a 72 hour limit. If a BG check takes more than 72 hours the FFL is supposed to automatically approve the transaction and transfer ownership. Is this not the case??
Also, is it the case in Colorado that a CCW holder is not subject to the background check? I know in many other states CCW permit holders do not have to go through the background check.
IMHO, guns are not the problem, mental health is the problem.

Did we just go full circle?

I'd imagine the wait would be shorter if they'd just allow those of us with CCW's to by pass the check.

First question: No. It has been discussed in a couple of other similar threads here. BaileyGuns gave some good background on the subject.
Second question: No. It has been debated at the legislature the last two years and never got out of committee.
How about those of us who have already done a background check within the past 30 days. Is it possible to reference that background check for additional purchases?

What i cant seem to understand is where are all these guns coming from? Every shop i visit there are almost no ARs, AKs etc. But the number of checks just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Seems to me stores must be holding back on thier stocks.
Nope!

you're asking for a process that makes sense, stop that :-)

CCW holders get no special privilege. They are subject to checks when purchasing a new firearm from an FFL just like every one else. Other states do their thing.. we do ours. Doesn't matter what happens in another state.
You guys do realize it's the holidays. People take time off.. If there were 10 people doing the checks and now there are 8 it's going to take longer.
It's like a bunch of friggin women on here I swear to god.
Didn't the CCW database go bye bye due to funding and the lack of actual participation? Do you really want your info released here like they did in NYC?

Ugh, I'm really starting to despise Colorado lawmakers more and more... Effing libtard idiots!

I think what was referred to is that if you have a CCW, you've done a pretty extensive BGC, and been approved by a chief LEO, and that if you did commit a crime you would supposedly no longer be in possession of a CCW permit thus, through deductive reasoning if you have a CCW you would pass the BGC. I think that's what was alluded to... At least if I were in charge of this blue state [Mad] that's what I would do...

Not everyone is buying ARs or AKs. There are other firearms out there. No matter what the national media tells you.

Yeah i know i just didnt want to list them all. I have been wondering what percentage of these back ground checks are for "Evil Rifles"

At one time we could walk in / walk out if you were a permit holder. That didn't last long.

Transfers . Many of us are buying from Gunbroker and having things shipped. I sold one AR 10 yesterday on gunbroker for a lot more than I spent to a FFl who wanted it for his use,. Interesting conversation with that man from the south. I already have taken those funds.and invested in two other battle rifles for my collection. Those rifles so far off the radar but once all the AR style rifles go they are next. Either way I put in for a background check yesterday, by the time I am up I will have several things waiting to be added to the 4473. Sucks for the wait but a great day coming. As a note don't be content about pistols being around. There going fast to get them while you can
