The amount of time to run the CBI back ground check at the CO Springs gun show last weekend was taking 45 minutes to an hour or more. Bastards!!

Shit, just be glad you don't live in Illinois. 3 day wait for a HG, 24 hour wait for a long gun with the background check. Blame the Brady bill. Also because states do not share info, ANYTHING from out of state will get you denied from the CBI until you appeal the denial and send in the paperwork from the other state. It shows up as "status unknown". Don't ask me how I know this![]()
Been there, done that. Lived in IL for 10 yrs (minus the 1 yr hiatus I took to Kimchiland).
Got denied for my Beretta 92FS purchase back in '93 (after paying for teh gun, having it trtansferred from a MO dealer to an IL dealer, and waiting my 3 days). All because I had moved 2 blocks down the same street. My new address didn't match the address in IL's records. Took another week to get everything straightened out.
You all need to quit bitchin about background checks (BC). It's well documented that no bad guy has been able to acquire a firearm since the BC system has gone into place. In fact, all crimes with firearms committed since the BC system has been implemented have been committed by so called "lawful" gun owners. Ban 'em all; that's what I say.
And in that vane, I will be manning a firearms turn-in location at my home for those who wish to make themselves right in the eyes of the law.

Ginsue's Feedback
I lived in the Chicago Metro area for almost 30 years and had a FFL01 for almost all of that time. I am well familiar with the Illinois BS and Democrat political BS.
Now, if I were to turn in to theGinsue, an "almost" complete old H&R .38 (suicide special) I'd hope to get a minimum of $150 for it.![]()
WHEN YOU GUYS GOING LEARN THAT YOU CAN SUE THEM FOR EVERY TIME THEY DO THIS CRAP... LEGALLY THEY HAVE DAMAGED YOU, BY ILLEGALLY DENYING YOU YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS... STOP WHINING AND START HIRING LAWYERS...AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY SUED ABOUT 5 TIMES FOR MEGABUCKSTHEY WILL START TO SHAPE UP...
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
actually the state has "liability, errors and ommisions, and judgment protection insurance" .... the insurance company pays... and then they tell the state either shape up these boneheads or we will jack up your rating so bad that you cant afford it.. and the chit will roll downhill....and they are at the bottom of the hill ...
I have to say... CBI treated me right today.
Had to get them some court documents from my teen years in the 80's to clear some stuff up. (long story)... but anyway, I handed the lady my paperwork and she told me that it would take 4 weeks to process. WHAT?!
Well, I'll be on orders starting Sunday. Yes, I'm in the military. So, I informed her of this and she promptly called a supervisor and explained the situation to him. To my amazement, they're going to take care of it first thing in the morning.
I love "head of the line" privileges in uniform.
