17Hr CBI wait times today...

[Brass]

I have often wondered if LEO gets a notification of a perp (not some Joe with an unpaid parking ticket) tries to buy a gun gets denied, if it?s a felony to falsify/lie on the BGC form is action taken?

Based on my experience, they do call the police, at least sometimes. About four years ago, I was at Rapid Fire Bunker waiting for my CBI check, and two Littleton officers came in, walked right up to some guy like they knew him, and told him they need to speak with him outside. As I was leaving the store about fifteen minutes later, I saw that the guy was handcuffed.

I'm sure it wasn't about parking tickets, as I had a few unpaid ones myself, and I was approved to proceed with the transfer.

What are wait times at today

As of last night, the queue was 9,000 with the same wait times of 4+ days.

I always wonder how people go about checking when they don't actually know if they could pass. Is there a way for people to check without breaking the law to start with?

State level. Tried one at the federal level, but the AUSA wasn't interested in it, so I filed it also at the state level.

I thought so. At the federal level it's about a 0.02% conviction rate.

I witnessed roughly the same thing at Ark Tactical a few years ago. While a guy was waiting on his BGC, Noah took a call in the back room. A few minutes later, a couple of Lakewood PD showed up and arrested the guy for "fishing without a license" ticket based warrants. Once that was determined, everybody was pretty chill and the officers said the guy could come back later that day for his gun once he was processed and released from the PD. Noah said the call was from CBI to keep the guy waiting so the PD could come. His pucker factor was high for a bit because they would not tell him any info on the warrant.

I'm not sure how to respond to that. Wouldn't you know if you had been convicted of a felony or of a Brady crime (DV, etc)?

I don't know anything of their conviction rate. I do know that the US Attorney's threshold for prosecution is generally pretty high. A few years ago, I investigated a tax fraud case where the feds were out over a million and the state was out around $80K and I ended up charging in the state as the AUSA wasn't interested.

You'd think. I know guys that got in trouble when young and got arrested for stuff that could have been a felony, but was supposedly reduced. I don't think I'm out of line in suggesting that what someone gets told, and what record the state actually has, can be different. I've gone through, and known others who go though that kind of thing with the DMV for example. Either way, they're too scared to try.

Was that the guy buying the Hi-Points?

Have yourself investigated by private party. Some PI's have a flat fee background check that should equal or surpass the CBI check.
