1 hour wait on Background?!?!

I am at a local pawnshop trying to buy a cheap shotty and the counter guy told me to hang out or come back in an hour because they are backed up already. Can one our in house vendor confirm this?! 1 hour CBI waiting time already? [Bang][Bang]

It began.

I bought on Monday and the wait was 30 minutes.

1 hour sounds typical as of late. Id say it hasnt started to begin, if it was 3-5 hours on a Wednesday and not the first or last day of the month, Id say its pretty good.

Typically in the weekdays morning, 20-30min at the most.

In November 2008 if you got out same day you were lucky.

Currently at 10 minutes (10:51am)

Will there be punch and pie?

Why didn't you post something in the WTB section? I believe a few of us offer a real instant BG check.

He said weed, so cheetos and goldfish...

A week or so ago a black dude came in reeking of dope [M2]. I told him he couldn't stay in the store, he was pretty pissed off. Called me a racist asshole among many other things. My parting words were "Have a nice day".

Contributing to the madness.

Bear Arms had an XD9 Tactical in Olive Drab that I had been mulling over for about two weeks. I have some work to do, and figured I'd pick it up in a few weeks. Today, I thought about it a bit, and figured it is likely to be unavailable or priced beyond what I want to pay for it in the near future. So I went by to pick it up. Place was packed. I filled my 4473 and left for lunch. Was told the wait is a little over an hour, which doesn't seem that bad.

Were you around in 2008? Man, I remember being told to come back the next day! I can loiter in a gun shop for an hour easy!

I was around, and working in a gun shop in 2008. It was far more insane than this has been so far, and started months before the election.

Sportsman's Warehouse in Thornton today was selling guns as fast as they could write the business. I was told at the time my CBI request want in that it was 20-30 minutes. It was an hour ten. They said that yesterday it was 10 minutes. Lots of black rifles, shotguns, and pistols leaving the store. barry is still a good firearms salesman.
