Longest Wait : 6 days 12:14 Applications Waiting : 11304
as of this posting, a little better notification. I can better tell my customers at the show this weekend.
It's awesome to know our sport/hobby has gone mainstream.
I'm just glad they got that pesky 100 hour clock improved.... Although, I don't think going from "hours waited" to DAYS is much of an improvement.
On the El Paso County front as far as CCW Permits go, I had a student tell me yesterday that her appointment with the Sheriffs Office was scheduled for March 6th. So if you call now you can look at about a 2 month wait.
I wonder now if they'll ever get this caught up, or if they just continue to keep a 10,000 check backlog to act as a waiting period.
Man I love your avatar :)
I mentioned in another post a friend of mine bought a new AR from Wal-Mart yesterday. He walked out of the store with almost immediately. This was a Colorado Walmart. Seems the chain uses the FBI background. To bad the gun shops can't do that.
I don't think any dealer is exempt from going through the CBI. Sounds like Walmart made a mistake :-(
I still believe its horse shit that as a CCW holder I have to wait for a cbi check! Even in Las Vegas where they are way stricter on guns I never had to do a background check. But politicians aren't the brightest people around obviously.
By the time I get my new rifle shipped from Buds and do the application I should have it by February. [Coffee]
Sorry all, I put my BGC for a new Sig... I hope to have her by next weekend. What I really don't understand here is where the hell are all these coming from continuously? It was at 10,000 on Sat, and today it's at 11,000? So people keep flooding in and submitting checks? They get to what? 1200-1400 per day, and it would seem that 12-1500 keep submitting every day. I'm assuming, since prior to this posting, my BGC was entered, so maybe I have 6 days or so to wait. I'm still not happy, I've never had to wait more than an hour for my BGC.

Yah, I'm trying to figure that one out too. I wonder how many guns were bought online and are now waiting at the receiving FFL to clear the BGC.Quote:

The concern here, and it's a fair one, is that something could happen to make you ineligible, e.g. a restraining order or mental health hold, but you could still have your physical permit in hand. Without the background check, the seller is relying on potentially outdated info.Quote:

CBI has a Facebook page?
That's why it'd be EXTREMELY important to some how update this type info (on a timely basis) with the official who actually issued that persons CCW. That official would then have to make immediate contact with the CCW holder advising him/her that their permit is no longer valid and must be returned to the issuing Officer immediately. But, this still wouldn't prevent the CCW holder to make purchases in the mean time..... Don't know how it would/could work but surely other States must have some system to update this type info.Quote:

damn they are getting hammered.. tough time to be in the insta check unit!!!!
A right delayed is a right denied.
December 23 was the last time this was updated.Quote:

Its been updated since then. Anyone can access their FB page whether they have an acct or not. And it's free. I think utilizing free social media is a good idea, as opposed to paying for a website and its upkeep.Quote:

Thanks for clarifying that for me.
understand....its like 140 hours...
But BUSINESS hours...FEDERAL BUSINESS HOURS.
Hope Buds is better than impactguns.com. They have been a fail with their "in stock" items in both non-panic and edge-of-panic buying periods.Quote:

Dont get too excited....
"CBI InstaCheck completed 1,274 background checks for firearms purchases on Friday. Currently working on checks submitted on 12/21/12."
Sportsmans Warehouse in COS was quoting 7-9 days yesterday. The backlog at the time was 11,740.
Just got my call from last Friday. :)
Your a lucky man...Quote:

From their FB page two hours ago...Colorado Bureau of Investigation

I was under the impression that CBI could do about 2,000 checks per day even before the recently expanded business hours. So why did they complete "only" 1,274?
Maybe some take longer? You know, the John Smith's of the world take a little longer to research than the Ivan Jachovaloski's of the world.Quote:

assuming they are working 18 hours a day, that equates to almost 71/hr or just over 1/minute thats not to bad for a gov. operation IMHO.Quote:
